picked up a subaru that had the latch and cables broken off, glad there is a way to save some money fixing that
This is the best DIY instructional video I've ever seen, thanks so much.
Wow, thanks!
Finally someone uploads this for an 04 Camry
Very helpful, but I simply soldered an extension to the broken section of wire of the release cable. Still no clue why it decided to randomly snap. My 2006 looks a little different, but the process for getting to the trunk latch is basically the same.
Thanks for the video :D
Came for the vista20p series stayed for the camery trunk release repair. Well done bounder keep up the great videos!
Awesome! Thank you!
@@bounder97 have you used the eyeson daughter board for your vista? If not I would highly recommend it. It allows you to remotely monitor your system. Great add-on and great folks over there at eyeson. If not would make for a great new video series.
@@llN3M3515ll Actually, I bought one about 6 months ago. I was going to teach myself how to install and program it and then make a video. Major life changes have that on hold temporarily. However, I do look forward to installing it. I also have heard good things about it. Do you know if the folks at Eyeson have any training material for installing the unit? I have not researched it yet.
What a fantastic video. Very detailed and easy to understand. No wonder the mechanics charge so much. It is a lot of work but doable if you are handy. Thanks for all tips 😀
Thanks for the kind words. Those poor mechanics do work their tales off.
Thank you, I was able to replace the cable at my Toyota Aurion 2009 with your guide. Had to increase the tension a bit by adding an extra buffer before the ending. The release mechanism wouldn't work otherwise. But that's because I am using a $90 cable from Amazon rather than the original Toyota one.
It's great that these older cars allow you to do a lot of the mending yourself. My dad would be proud. He fixed his own car in the 90s too.
Glad it helped
Thank you for this video, very detailed and straightforward!
This is an outstanding video. Very detailed. Just what I was looking for. Thank you very much for all your time and effort at developing this tutorial.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your video helped me fixing my 2005 camry trunk. Thanks for the video!
I'm very glad to hear that. Stay tuned. Tommorow I will be posting how to replace your radiator. Your car is old enough that it should be going bad anytime now. Don't worry, its a piece of cake to replace. I just replaced my 2004 camry radiator.
Crazy how it's always the trunk cable that gets worn out with these Camry's. Over time that metal wire attached to the release lever mechanism release gets stretched too far and loses tension. Though it's not mandatory to replace it as long as the gas cable is working fine, it's just an inconvenience to always have to use your key to access the trunk.
Have a 2005 camry this happened to today. Thanks for saving me several hundred bucks, man.
Great to hear!
Awesome explanation and every detail was clearly exposed..
Congratulations on this video!
And that you very much!👍👍
My pleasure!
Thanks for making this. Just used this vid to do this on my 2016 camry. Mostly the same except there are two bolts instead of one on the rear seat, and the cable had a black tip on one end and a white tip on the other. The black goes in the trunk, the other in the cabin.
This video looks to be exactly what I need. Very detailed explanation. Thanks!
Great to hear!
thank you I'll try on my 2006 👍
Great explanation used this to replace the actual lever part on a same year corolla
Thanks for sharing that information.
Outstanding !!! A huge help!
Thank you so much. I intend to attempt this soon.

Would this work on a 01 lexus is300?
I'm very sorry, I don't know. I don't own a Lexus. So I have never worked on one. I would imagine that since the Camry is just the poor man's Lexus, it might work.😃
Wear did you buy this part from
This looks like a pain, im gonna just buy a new cable and extend it and run it on the outside of the car and drill a hole in the trunk 😂
Ghetto style
Did U get to doing this. Mine gave way today😮
its really not much of a pain if you are confident in what your doing and know what your doing takes maybe 30 minutes
@@TH-mw4pl ok ill try it. I actually bought the cable
@luckyc336 yeah you learn a lot about the cars interior while doing it too good luck my friend
