  • If your 2014 through 2019 highlander back door, tailgate is not opening here are the most likely reasons. It is usually not a maintenance issue it is usually simple. Also check the button on the inside left if the glovebox on the left side.

    Forgot to add that there is a button in the glove box that can be pressed accidentally shutting off the door too.

    My wife went to Home Depot and picked up bags of dirt. They brought out to the highlander to load. My wife was in the drivers seat so her remote was close. The person from Home Depot hit the window button thinking it opened the gate. To load this for her…. This disabled the gate. Your video fixed this .. I appreciate it.. thank you

About 20 minutes ago, I discovered your video and followed your instructions to go to the app and found the setting for the lift gate and changed it from 1 to 5 and it now works perfectly. Going to call early and cancel my appointment. Wish had looked for your video many months ago. Thanks.
