Yep thanks, yours is the first video I found on a 2nd gen.

The battery diconnect part saved my marriage. Thanks for that....i think

Thanks for the vid! I went with the knockoff actuator from eBay for around $80.00. Fits like a glove and works fine so far. I did have to disconnect the ground wire from the battery for a minute or two after install and then bam it worked!

Worked like a charm

Thank you very much!!! Where did you buy your part ? Toyota?

I have the motor out. Still can’t get the mechanical part out. Any suggestions. Pulled on two levers .

Thanks for the video. I replaced actuator on my Sequoia but when i closed the door it wouldn’t open. My question is how to make actuator work properly?

Thanks - mine is stuck too. I managed to get all the panels off, and even disassembled the motor just like you did. But i still cant figure out how to get it open. Once you had the plastic off etc - how did you actually make it open?

I bought new lock for my Sequoia because I thought that the it is the reason for lifting gate problem , which is not working automatically. Unfortunately, i lost my money without benefit from buying this new lock.
