2019 TO 2021 TOYOTA TACOMA OEM POWER TAILGATE LOCK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS | STEP BY STEP |

[@gianniflores1596]

This is the best video for tailgate lock installation on KZbin. Thank you

[@MyTacoma]

Thanks 🙏

[@h2beezy2]

I agree best vid, but not the best background music hahahahahah

[@ericr6282]

Just got my 2021 TRD OR, 2 dealers have quoted me $575 and $430 for parts and labor to do this, your video just gave me the confidence to do it myself. Thanks for very much for the clear instructions and quite frankly that’s what I am here for, the music is fine. Everyone is a critic.

[@MyTacoma]

Thanks

[@ericr6282]

Just did the install, the video was such a help! Thanks again.

[@rfarns24604]

Do you have a part number? I have a 2021 TRD Sport. Thanks.

[@mobis00]

I followed your video step by step and was able to install one on my new Taco. Thanks for a perfect how to tutorial

[@MrJose021292]

How long did it take you?

[@gianniflores1596]

Just installed mine. Took an hour and I took my time. Thanks to your video. The hardest part for me was getting the two plastic clips that hold the camera and tailgate wires together. It was a pain to get them wedged into place.

[@MyTacoma]

Thanks for watching, Yes it is a little difficult part.

[@Soul_Survivor2]

It's easier to put them in from under the tail gate (down) as you.can see it very clearly

[@WhatsTheVector]

Great detail instructions. This OEM Toyota part is supposed to be installed by a Toyota certified technician and does not come with installation instructions. This video enables DIY installation of this OEM automatic tailgate lock that integrates with the existing electrical harness. Everything worked as expected and this video made installation very easy.

[@zdiver1]

Getting mine in two days and you just saved me some sleepless nights. good job!

[@MyTacoma]

Glad I could help!

[@mitch3402]

I ordered this today for under $120 including shipping at Passport Toyota Great gift for someone or yourself. This is the best video on KZbin for this DYI installation Thank

[@scottevans5507]

Your video was the best one out and gave great directions, the only suggestion I would have is to tell people about the orientation of the clips that get mounted for the tailgate harness. Thank you for a great instructional video

[@theloneviking9145]

Yep I agree that was a pain in the neck the little clip part faces to your left.

[@mcnitt]

That you for this! I installed the factory kit using the instructions and help from your video. Routing near the exhaust was the most time consuming but it was otherwise smooth and easy. I bought the recommended 3M sealer ($30 tube) and used about a pencil eraser amount of it; in retrospect it was unnecessary to use the 3M seal. An zip tie or piece of duct tape in the same spot would accomplish the same and save $30. Anyway, that you for the instruction!

[@MyTacoma]

Glad I could help!

[@MKultrapdx]

I must have missed the part about the 3M?

[@kevinmitchell413]

@@MKultrapdx In the OEM instructions which this video follows (however not sequentially) calls out 3M item code 08302 for connecting the harness clip to the inside of the tailgate (see 6:30 in the video, where they did not use anything) A copy of the OEM instructions can be found on the sparkstoyota product page - item # PK3B6-35JS0

[@josephabad5522]

Just got my 2022 TRD Sport 4x4 and used your detailed step by step instructions to install the remote lock. Like you suggested I also bought the OEM part instead of the generic one to minimize any breakdown and having to rewire it. Works like a charm and saved me $300! So thank you! You are much appreciated.

[@Shanexxl]

I put my tailgate harness backwards at first. You made it sound like the male got fed through first but in fact the female end should be inside the tailgate area. Male goes towards front of truck. Easy fix. Should have watched whole video first instead of following along lol. Super helpful video. Took maybe 20-30 minutes all in. Thank you!

[@edwardleskowsky2658]

Good video. Although the music was a little overpowering, I will use it as a guide to my install.

[@MyTacoma]

Sorry about that

[@maryamjan2455]

Wow nice

[@BiggetyBones]

Thank you, Thank you! The video was money! Without this video it would’ve been pretty difficult to install. Appreciate you taking the time to create the step by step video.

[@Wyoming734]

This is hands down the best video for this installation on KZbin. Great job.

[@aztecballer12]

Installed this in 45 minutes with the help of this video. Great work!

[@GregWachtel-o5m]

Great job with camera angles and attention to detail!!! Keep up the good content!!!

[@arhalper757]

Great video! Just installed and went smooth with your instructions. Thanks for creating!

[@Garuda1415]

I just installed this kit. I could see that I needed more clearance to fit the wire protectors at the tailgate and the bed. I rigged a small platform with a piece of plywood and a bench. The plywood rested on the bumper and the bench. I partially removed the tailgate on the passenger side, angled it rearward several inches, and laid it on the platform. The extra three inches of space made this part of the job much easier.

[@outdoorfrenzy]

You could have also just closed the tailgate and worked from under it. Easily accessible.

[@randiruge1265]

Best video by far on this.....thanks!~

[@michaelbanker]

great video, better than the others out there. has all the detail necessary to do this install properly. thanks!

[@dougg229]

Amazing details. Gives me the confidence to try it instead of paying 3x for the install at stealership

[@JH-mt3pp]

Excellent video ! I just bought a 2021 Tacoma and had to redo a bed extender that the dealership didn't install correctly. I will add this tailgate lock myself !

[@MyTacoma]

Glad it helped! , I installed my bed extender few days ago added video for that too

[@mmwjade07]

I just finished installing mine and it works great, thanks for the tutorial

[@tomgregory5814]

Please note that in the “SR/SX” model Tacoma’s, 2020 at least, there is no wire harness from the passengers side front to rear. I had to improvise by running the harness inside the frame rail and ty wrapping it thru the holes in the frame. I did this by placing a fiberglass rod on the outside of the frame rail and ty wrapping to it, thru the hole. Other than that the plug and play OEM harness is simple to install as you show in your video. The OEM part number for 2020 is PK3B6-35JS0. PS: mine is a 2020 Tacoma access cab with the 6’2” box.

[@michaelybarra7]

Yup I'm stuck now I have a 2020 SR and I didn't check for that harness

[@tomgregory5814]

The video is good relative to the installation. I just routed the harness inside the frame rail rather than in top as noted above. I also didn’t use the metal ties as shown as they aren’t as flexible as the regular ties and are further away from the heat inside the rail. So far no problems. Let me know if you have questions.

[@tomgregory5814]

Unfortunately I totaled my 2020. Luckily I got a great settlement from my insurance company and replaced it with a 2023 SR. It too has no wire harness on the passenger side, so will be installing the harness in the same manner as the 2020.

[@bradbenedict6034]

Thank you so much! I was able to easily walk through the installation with this detailed and informative video.

[@LoCoZoMbiEKiLleR]

This should be standard on all keyfob trucks @toyota. Hardest part for me was the stupid wiring clips and their orientation for the bed/frame and tailgate. Good video even if you move faster than I can. Thanks!

[@ThePounder001]

Very detailed video! It was a big help to reference during my install on my 2020 Taco OffRoad

[@sneekypete6160]

Great instructions. It helped me instal one on my truck.

[@toyotaco21]

Thank you very much bud! just installed mine yesterday with confidence following your instructions and works great.

[@MyTacoma]

Thanks 🙏 glad you liked it 🙂

[@jbergado]

Best instructions ever.

[@MyTacoma]

thanks

[@tommisera3816]

Great video, you make it look easy. It looks like a fun project and something that is doable for anyone.

[@kenni411]

Excellent video ! Best one yet explains step by step ! Thanks brother !

[@Donorcyclist]

Just finished my upgrade. Thank you for the assist!

[@MADHIKER777]

Thank you for this very clear instruction! I'm using it as my guide for my own installation on my Tacoma.

[@jeff_doyle]

Thanks for this video just did the install

[@tomrhoton7452]

Thanks - nice job.

[@robertprichard3236]

Great video installed mine today and it went great

[@marshallboutilier7462]

great video. But we could do with out the music its distracting..

[@kenstogie]

Yes this is the best video for this..... is the harness long enough for a 2 door (+ the 2 suicide doors) ? Ie is it the same kit for an extended cab? Thanks for the video!

[@theloneviking9145]

Yes I believe so. Even though my kit said short bed I have the access cab long bed and there was plenty of wiring.

[@TA-bb4cr]

Thank you. Quality video with clear instructions!

[@MarioV73]

Awesome video, thank you. But the music is horrible. I have to turn the volume up and down to hear the instructions and avoid the blaring music. Please rerelease the video without the music, or if you have to have the music, just keep the volume constant and low in the background.

[@MyTacoma]

Noted! sorry about that , I released a new video about bed extender bracket music is low on that one.

[@jsurfslammer]

I have to agree with the other comments wow you are great at doing and explaining the how and why. After watching the video oh yeah “subscribe”, I have a new Tacoma and there are a lot of mods I want, but all stock, but wanted to save not dealer install, “do it yourself”.

[@slickricktheruler]

Great how to video. Thank you

[@TheRogeliofigueroa]

Thank you easy to install less than one hour and work great

[@julestrdprodjimavicpro2869]

nice video man and great choice of trucks!

[@MyTacoma]

Thank you 🙏

[@andrewmunczenski3632]

Just a note on my 24 I had the factory led under lightning. I had to cut the existing plug to remove and put a small slit and cut the harness new rubber plug to accommodate the factory led lightning.

[@vandalus03]

Great instructions. Thanks

[@kjohnston1231]

Will this work with 2021 SR Double Cab Short Bed? I called dealer today and he said they don’t have a part for this model yet. I think he’s mistaken?

[@GrahamHolmes]

How did you seal up the hole where you removed the grommet? I am worried about water getting in

[@MyTacoma]

Harness have the seal to cover up the area

[@GrahamHolmes]

Thank you

[@eileenhunter5927]

Is this the same for a 2022 Tacoma TRD Off-road long bed 4x4 with heated seats? I understand the heated seats may complicate the install. Any instructions for us on that? Additionally, an employee at our dealership said that you can't have both the power tailgate lock and the bed lighting kit. He said we will need to chose one or the other. That makes no sense to me as they don't appear to be related or wired in proximity to each other. Can you clear that up for me? I have not seen any mention of that and I know installing the bed lighting kit is a very easy plug and play install. Thank you.

[@MyTacoma]

I have both on my 2020 Tacoma, it’s totally different wiring. It’s should be same for 2022 Tacoma , just make sure u order the right harness for long bed.

[@kJ-hx8pm]

I got mine from toyota and it's a little different than. I installed it but when Iock it it's and when I unlock it it lock. Any advice

[@MyTacoma]

Just double check ur work at tailgate gate remove the panel and record the video while locking and unlocking

[@derekpalodichuk6897]

Just need some glow sticks for the music. Great video, very informative.

[@ceeIoc]

I just did this. Before you remove the factory clips, note which way it is inserted. The hardest part was these clips, they were a very tight squeeze.

[@weeweed86]

Nice job with this How-To....

[@boriquianpapa]

So if the Tacoma comes with the keyless entry and you set all doors to open from the drivers side instead of just the one door set from factory will the tailgate unlock as well? Or is it just with the key fob?

[@MyTacoma]

Yes it will unlock from drivers door when you install power tailgate lock

[@mmwjade07]

Excellent video and instructions!

[@jtalonrider4769]

Works in a 2022 trd off road? And you have a link? Great video too

[@zacharycornman977]

[@POGIAKO62]

Is it the same kit and installation as 2022 Toyota Tacoma OFF ROAD? Also, my truck is manual transmission (no key fob, just the regular key with remote door lock/unlock). It is my very first truck and I’m novice about trucks and still learning. U

[@nihsmik]

Not sure if you pulled the trigger on it but it's the same install process. I just finished it on my manual tacoma. You just gotta buy the right part (long bed or short bed).

I have a 2020 TRD OR and while some of this works fine there is already a wire going thru the grommet under the seat. How is this resolved? Cutting into one of them?

[@Rybay]

I just cut the one off that came already on the wire and then cut the side of the one already in the truck. I added silicone around it and followed the rest of the video. Took under an hour.
