2019 to 2021 RAV4 Electronic Trunk Lift Support Kit from CarTrimHome

[@endl3sdrmzz]

Just want to give the BIGGEST shoutout to you sir. I successfully installed the power liftgate today. I did ran into multiple troubles but I managed somehow. With some thinking and proper tools, it can be done. I did exactly what you did based on your instructions. My trunk closed shut completely the first attempt. Everything works including the keyfob to lock/unlock the trunk. Yesterday I did the foglights and today I installed this. Oh and just when I finished, it started to rain. I was so lucky! I am so happy and satisfied with this success. I can't thank you again. You don't know how much I appreciate people like you helping many others out. Many good things will come your way. You the man!

[@cooldude5857]

hi there... Thanks for the video.. it has all the details to install the electric tail gate... Just one question, the white wire (key unlock signal wire to release the hatch) is white not white with black stripe right? How do figure that out? I have a 2022 Toyota Sienna but couldn't find that white wire..

[@BulletSolano]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKargmuGnZaJbtksi=wMRhklO7emG6GG9X

[@subpar_singletrack]

Does this require a vehicle that previous had an electric assist hatch?

[@BulletSolano]

No

[@claudinei673]

Hello, do you have any video of installing the electric trunk kit for the BYD Yuan plus (atto3)?

[@devilsadvocate2656]

I'm looking at putting in a powered tailgate for my 2020 RAV4. The main problem that I have is all the kits that I've looked at involve cutting into the cars cabling which will void my warrantee. I assume that that cut in wire is the ignition sensor to prevent opening of the tailgate while in motion. If this is the case, then connection into the cigarette lighter (either front or rear) would provide far better access and be less intrusive. Secondly, I note that the kit uses a fuse tap of an existing circuit. I know from other vids that there are spare positions on the fuse box. Why not simply use one of these instead of risking interference with an existing circuit? Lastly, all the vids I've seen haven't addressed a number of questions that I have about the tailgates operation. Notably, does the tailgate operate as it did prior to the installation? Does installing this 3rd party kit mean you can now purchase a Toyota remote with a boot release button?

[@BulletSolano]

Those are questions that you need to ask cartrimhome, I’m just following the instructions from them

[@devilsadvocate2656]

@@BulletSolano After a bit of research (isn't the Internet wonderful?), I've discovered what that cut in wire is for. It isn't the ignition sensor as I'd supposed. What it does is monitor the door open line from the cars electronics. By default, cars without factory fitted powered liftgates are supplied with a 2-key remote not a 3-key remote. However, when using a 2-key remote, pressing the open key 3 times is the same as using the boot opening key on a 3-key remote. The Readers Digest version: If fitting an aftermarket powered liftgate, pressing the open button 3 times on a 2-key remote will cause the cars electronics to send an "open the boot" signal. This will be sensed by the newly fitted powered liftgate which will then... open the boot. -- x -- Further, I've discovered that there's a small local fuse panel on the right side of the boot. Potentially this could be used for the 12V constant & accessory feeds... although wires would still need to be run forward to the drivers switch and door opening sensor line.

[@DCPHONEGUY]

@@devilsadvocate2656 I would be careful trying to use a secondary fuse panel, I would think these electric struts draw a decent amount of current and depending on the wire size feeding the aux fuse panel and the current rating supplying that aux panel you could be asking for trouble but that is just my opinion, I have not installed one of these yet but I plan to in the spring. Thanks for the info on the remote, I was wondering how you would control the rear liftgate with a 2 button remote (we have a 2020 LE)

[@BulletSolano]

I have no issues with the wiring and on the factory remote pressing 3 times the lock button you can open and close the lift gate

[@devilsadvocate2656]

@@DCPHONEGUY Point well taken. Mine is a Hybrid so the main 12V battery is located under the boot floor on the right-hand side. It has a small fuse box attached with unassigned fuse positions. I got the idea from another KZbin channel which attached powered rear struts to this same place. (Buggered if I can find the channel now) I've been occupied with other personal matters and haven't managed to circle back to this yet (you know how it goes). Please keep us appraised of your progress. I'm certainly interested.

Is not gonna reach down low, but you can splice the cables to extend them

[@billmarciastuart6163]

I installed the power lift gate and your video made it very easy to do. I do have one little problem that maybe you can help me with. The lift gate does open and close when the buttons are pushed. But when it closes there is a minor issue. It will close all the way and the dash shows it is closed, then it backs off just a bit and the car thinks that the lift gate is open. I have tried to adjust the catch on the bottom, but so far no luck. I don't see any adjustments for the motor side of it. Might you have any ideas as to what could be causing that to happen? Any info you provide would be helpful.

[@BulletSolano]

Did you put the latch provided with the kit? If so, keep adjusting it, if that doesn’t work contact cartrimhome for replacement

[@billmarciastuart6163]

@@BulletSolano Yes, I did use the latch that came with the kit. The arrow points to the back of the car. It was adjusted left and right and forward and backward. There is not much movement either way. One thing I tried was as the door closes I hold it tight shut and then it does not move back. Of course I don't want to have to do that each time. I will continue to try and make adjustments to the latch. Thank for your help.

[@BulletSolano]

Make sure the wiring is right under the steering wheel, bad connection can make the car not registered that the latch is close

[@billmarciastuart6163]

@@BulletSolano I adjusted the latch as far back as it will go and now the door shuts all the way and the dash indicates that it is closed. Thank you so much for your assistance.

"Normal" RAV4s (without the door lifter) unlock the boot when the recessed unlocking button (inside the lifting handle & above the number plate) is pressed. A second press allows you to pull the door open.
