2006 sequoia sr5 lift gate latch

4runnerrunner2 · Nov 19, 2020

I replaced my lift gate latch and for some reason the red indicator light on the dash will not go off because the latch will not engage all the way. It locks and closes the lift gate no problem but then it needs to lock the latch further before the indicator light will turn off. Any one else had this issue after replacing the latch. This also prevents me from locking/ unlocking my doors with the keyless remote. My latch is after market from ebay.

I would wager the new latch has an open circuit.

Can you check resistance at the connector with the latch open and closed. I wager you will find an issue with the latch.

I have tried more than one latch with the same issue. So either the eBay latches are both bad or something else is going on.
But to answer your question I can measure it resistance at the connector with the latch open and closed. I’ll try tomorrow and report back. Thanks for the reply.

So the problem here was the ebay/amazon latches. Finally broke down and purchased a Toyota latch and problem solved. I guess my particular model does not do well with the eBay ones. Thanks for the help
