Күн бұрын3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 - Look below to find links for the OEM Power Tailgate Lock Kit and tools I used in this video!
In this video, I will show you how to install the OEM Power Tailgate Lock Kit (available in 2 sizes) from Toyota. Adding this kit will allow you to automatically lock/unlock your tailgate anytime you lock/unlock your 3rd Gen Taco!
Please note: Even though Toyota states that this kit is only for 2019+ Tacomas, the kit should work for any 3rd Gen Tacoma with power locks (mine is a 2017).
Below are links to both the "short wheelbase" and "long wheelbase" OEM Power Tailgate Lock Kits from Toyota (available on Amazon):

Thank you so much for the awesome video. As a relatively novice tinkerer, this was tremendously helpful. Wish I took a photo of the clips between the tailgate and bed before removing them - took a while to figure out how they were positioned when clipping the new ones back in. And, wish I knew I needed something more substantial than the cutters I had in order to cut the ends of the metal zip ties, but now have a pair of proper snips for the future. Was quoted $800+ for the install (in SoCal). You saved me quite a bit! Cheers.

Installed mine about a month ago. Purchased from my local dealer who said they always have them in stock because it is one of the most requested from customers. One thing no one ever says about this install is that there are no instructions included with the kit. You can request them from the dealer or download them from the internet. Very comprehensive, detailed instructions from Toyota. Cost is more than aftermarket but well worth it! Good video!

Great detailed vid and install! Thanks for sharing! I previously bought a Pop n' Lock that now has crapped out after a few years and I purchased this very same OEM part. Couple of things I would've done differently is gone through the cabin floor grommet rather than discarding it (though I'm not sure that is possible if the connectors on each end are too large), and I wouldn't tie everything down until testing the function. I'll find out first hand when I install mine. Clean job!
@LevelUpMechanics 2 жыл бұрын
Actually, this OEM power lock kit comes with a wire harness that has a floor grommet built onto the harness itself! You'll see when you get the kit 👍👍. As far as testing is concerned, I did test it before tying everything down (I just did it off-camera 😆).
@aeromedical6750 2 жыл бұрын
This is a must have if your Tacoma didn’t come stock with it. The piece of mind you get knowing that your tailgate is locked every time you lock the doors is worth every dollar spent. I just completed the install. The only part that gave me difficulties was running the tailgate harness through the new grommets and getting those reinstalled. It’s pretty tight in there and it took me several attempts to finally get it right. Having access to a lift would have been a plus, but it can be done without one.

You could definitely do the silicone modification for the grommet & existing cable, if need be.

BSM stands for "Blind Spot Monitor." I would double-check the connectors by the passenger front kick panel to make sure that everything is correct. Worst case scenario, you could unplug the tailgate lock harness and reconnect the original connectors together again and see if the "BSM" message goes away. If it doesn't, chances are likely that the problem isn't related to the tailgate lock harness... I highly doubt the tailgate lock harness would be the reason for this issue, but temporarily unplugging it would let you know for sure (either way). Keep me posted, as this would be the first time I've heard of the OEM tailgate lock causing an issue with other electrical components...

If you know what you're doing, it would probably take about 1 hour to install everything. If you need to take your time, then probably 2 hours lol 😆. The install is pretty straight forward and the parts are "plug & play". I think the hardest part is just routing & securing the wire harness (but even doing that is not too bad).

The wire harness (included with the kit) has a grommet already attached to it. That way, the harness can still cover the hole. This is one of the reasons I went with a Toyota OEM kit. Quality parts 😁👍.

The bed retainer clip just snaps out, and the new one just snaps in. The wire harness connectors up front are all different sizes / shapes, so there really isn't a way to mix them up. The wire harness also has a grommet already installed on the harness, so all you have to do is take the "old plug" out from under the seat and route the harness through the hole. I hope this info helps! 😁

@LevelUpMechanics 10 ай бұрын
I honestly do not know. If your factory Tacoma key does not have a lock / unlock button on it, then there's a pretty good chance that the factory kit won't work (but i do not know 100%for sure). You may have better results by integrating an aftermarket Pop & Lock Kit (or the Runnin4Tacos version) to your aftermarket keyless entry system. I would probably go this route if I were in your situation. I wish I could provide more accurate info, but I hope this helps out 😁👍.

@LevelUpMechanics 6 ай бұрын
The power tailgate lock is just as secure as the manual tailgate lock. Technically, all you are doing is adding an electrical solenoid to move the existing mechanical lock mechanism. I personally like to be able to lock / unlock the tailgate by using the key fob or by touching the driver front outer door handle. I know it's not for everyone, but I like it 😁.

Will this lock my leer camper shell as well? If not, is there a way to wire this were it will lock both leer camper shell and tailgate at same time? I am pulling power for the Camper shells brake light through the back left tail light. Any help is appreciated. :)
@LevelUpMechanics Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, this kit is only designed to lock & unlock the tailgate. My dad has a Leer camper shell on his Tundra that has 2 handles (one on each side of the back window) that have lock cylinders built into the handles. I assume this is the same for your shell? If so, you would need some sort of mechanism (controlled by an electrical circuit) that would physically move the position of each handle into a locked / unlocked position when commanded electronically (some type of power lock / unlock mechanism). Unfortunately, I do not know if Leer makes a power lock mechanism for their products, but if they did, then theoretically you could wire it to lock & unlock the topper in conjunction with the tailgate OEM power lock kit. I just don't know if there is an option available to actually do this. I wish I could be of more help. It looks like it may be possible that Pop & Lock actually makes a solution to add power locks to the Leer camper shell. I would recommend doing a quick Google search to see the options that they provide, based on the shell model that you currently have. Happy hunting! 😁

@LevelUpMechanics 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can still lock & unlock the tailgate manually with the key 🔑. I have verified this. The actuator rod that attaches to the hinge for the key lock cylinder is a "floating" rod, meaning that you could pull / push the rod in an out manually with your hands (without powering the actuator). The actuator itself does not lock into an open / closed position. It just moves the hinge that has the hardware attached to lock 🔐 / unlock the tailgate (just like the key lock cylinder does).
