Thank you so much. I watched your video on how to replace latch. I ordered and told my husband I got this. I replaced the latch and it worked grate twice. Then stopped. I took everything apart again and found that the cord was stretched. When I goggled the cord your next video came up confirming my suspicions. I have ordered cable and will replace when it arrives. Thank you so much. Your video is very easy to follow and now I feel like a mechanic 😃
Wow great job! I’m sorry you had the cable stretch too but that happens sometimes it seems. It’s stretched over time and a new handle sometimes makes it stretch more then it’s used to in a while. Nicely done I’m sure your husband is impressed. 😁
This video was a lifesaver! All went well until I got reattaching the dang cable to the new latch. Reviewing the video made it click. Thanks a million!!
Combining a couple of your videos and one other video, I replaced the latch, cable and actuator. I’m a 65 year old grandma, so if I can do it, anyone can. Sincere thanks for the info!!!
Thanks so much brother. These videos save my money. I am now really appreciate the value of having someone show me how to do it. If I were to do it myself I would probably take so many unnecessary part parts. Your video is straight to the point and simple. 👍👍👍
Great video! The dealership quoted me $350 to replace cable. I feel based on your video with the thorough explanation I can do this myself and save $300! Thank you!
Your videos are the best I have seen on RUclips so far with how to fix this issue. Thank you. Have been trying to fix mine for over a year now by watching some videos and this one by far helps me see everything I need to do clearly. Great video
great in depth video, anyone should be able do replace their cable after watching this.... much appreciation to all you guys on here who go to such lengths to show how things are done ...
Thank you so much for this very detailed video I ended up fixing my tailgate lack and changing my back light that went out and I need it fixed so I could get my truck inspection done I had a few people that was suppose to do it for me but I was tired of waiting on them so I decide to see if I could do it by myself and I did it I and so proud of myself and I know my father thats in heaven we be very proud of his daughter doing a job like this🤗💪🏾🤗💪🏾 Thanks again and keep making great videos like this in the future
I don’t know if it’ll work in the comments, but it’s linked down in the video description below the video. I think you have to click on see more or something in the mobile app.
What do you know, right after I watched your video and replaced my rear latch with the metal one you recommended, I noticed my cable was broken same spot as yours, its on ordered and i'll get to it. Thank you for your time and patience. Great help your videos.👍🏻👍🏻
@@SmartEasyDIYer I think that the non OEM handle may be slightly different shaped than the original because my cable broke as well when I just replaced the latch. I went and got a replacement cable as well but the latch is not able to pull the cable far enough to unclick the door. There seems to be about a cm of dead space on the wire before tension starts. I'm going to try adding a fishing lead weight behind the end ball to start tension sooner...now I just see the post above me from Devin.
Thank you for the video, I have followed everything you showed and now I am in the last step where you go outside. All of the sides are loose with the exception of the top middle which will not release the molding to get to the latch. something is holding it no matter how hard I pull, the area is directly below the toyota symbol on the outside. What am I missing?
Many thanks Smart Easy DIY for saving me time and money and for this tremendous helpful video. You were there with me all the time answering questions and guiding me. Any videos for the passenger door latch? Thumbs up for you. Keep making more awesome videos. Thanks again!
Very nice, I just replaced my cable and it didn't fix it because the handle tab that the cable hooks onto was bent slightly not allowing it to pull far enough. Replaced the handle and it works as it should now.
Great video! Replaced the handle recently but now I'm having the reverse problem. The lift gate closes but does not lock. All the other doors lock but not the lift gate. I replaced the handle and cable and when I hook everything back up, including the electric connectors, the gate does not lock. All 4 doors lock, but not the gate...is there a way to reset this?
Thanks. I think maybe I’ve heard of that before. I can’t remember for sure but it’s jogging my memory. I think it was something like disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes and the reconnecting and trying again. If all your connections look good I’d try that next I think. Otherwise I’m not sure.
Thank you for such a thorough and clear video on cable replacement. I am the original owner of a 2003 Sequoia with 368K miles on it. My rear hatch will not open. How can I be sure that it is the cable and not the lift gate assembly or the lock actuator? I don't hear the lock/unlock sound near the rear hatch so I am wondering if its the lock actuator. The hatch handle is still taut unlike when it breaks and is loose. Any insight you have would be helpful before I spent several hundred dollars on replacement parts. It should be noted that the interior panels have not been disassembled, however prior to the hatch not opening, the lock inside the lift gate assembly would get stuck and stay partially closed/open. Thanks again!!
Thank you! Wow that’s awesome you had it for so long and put so many miles on it! Sounds like you’re good to go for a long time yet. So since the latch handle is tight like you said I would think that it would not be the handle or the cable that’s the problem. I would suspect the lock actuator and or the actual latch.
The metal on the handle end can get bent and then the cable doesn't pull as much as it should anymore from my experience. alternatively, you may want to check out this other video... ruclips.net/video/-2xhNA3InZQ/видео.html&lc=Ugwvh-4s_Yx4qt4Cx7p4AaABAg.9KTuJnallzY9KU8RKMZ6dm
That I’ve never done but I think you can just take that nut off the backside. Not sure you would get it keyed the same though if you changed it. Maybe a locksmith?
Any idea what to do if your trunk door latch isn't operating? I pull the cable, but the trunk will not open. It seems the actual latch is jammed, but I can't get to it, without being able to open the trunk door.
I answered my own question. Spray wd40 into the whole latch assembly. Push hard on the trunk lid from the outside, while hitting the unlock button on your remote. Hopefully your trunk latch and lock with still have enough ability to free themselves. It took a lot of coaxing to get mine unlocked as the lock mechanism was pretty rusted.
@@absolute7181 I have the same problem as you. I disassembled the interior parts and I’m pulling on the cable (from inside the trunk) but it still won’t open the latch. Can you clarify where did you spray the WD-40?
One can zip tie cable tighter at latch opening with door open without disassembling anything. Also lube latch so it doesn't start to stick. Wrap zip around pull cable and pull cable arm tightening cable about 1/2"
I’m having trouble pulling the broken cable to open the door so that I have access to the other end. I pull on it and the door doesn’t open. I don’t know why because I had opened it before with out a problem. Then I ordered the part and now I can’t get it open.
It sounds like you might need to get the bag apart inside and access it that way to get it open. It’s kind of a pain because you have to crawl in from the front over the seat.
The cable does not stretch out. I compared my new one to my old one and they were the exact length, dead nuts. The entire problem starts with the actuator. OEM runs about $120 so I just cleaned mine
My cable actually broke but when I checked it it was stretched out. That’s good info about the actuator being problematic too but this video was to address how to change the cable if it indeed does need to be replaced.
Sorry I don’t know exactly what it’s called I did some research and can’t come up with an exact name or part number. Maybe if you talk to a local Toyota dealer you could at least see if they can find out
What if you pull that ball on the cable there and it will not open? I had been opening the hatch this way for over a year. maybe got water inside? but its stuck now, cant open the hatch with this cable. I could get a cutting torch and take most of the door out around the mechanism, use a sludge hammer and smash it until it opened, but I dont want that approach this time
The whole latch assembly that I’m removing at 5:40 I would try to get to that if you can reach in there and get it to open where the other end of the cable is attached. I would try that method before bashing your way to glory.
@@SmartEasyDIYer oh yes thats what i did before, had the cable just sitting there, roll down the window reach in and pull and pop open the hatch. shouldve fixed it when it would open! too many things to do i guess. but i saw a video where a guy uses some 'L' shaped tool to reach in there and open it, from the outside, hope to try this afternoon I may just leave it like that if it works. he took a coping saw and cut the top so he can use the handle to twist the other side up in there. wish i had my old shop... my nickname was Blackie because i could do anything with metal like a blacksmith, lots of tools. 90% stolen by a "friend" roomate when i had to move. about $20,000 in shop tools or more, lots of specialty tools. gone. now I have a bag with a few misc tools in there. makes me sick

I have a 2001 Ford F-150 and the back doors are both broken. I need to figure out how to fix them. Could you please help me? I’m a 68 year old and I thank you for whatever you can do to help me.
Thanks. I don’t have any experience with fords so I don’t know for sure what’s going on with it but if it doesn’t open at all is sounds like it could be a handle or cable issue inside the door.
@@SmartEasyDIYeryes, but how do you open the hatch to begin with? If the cable is detached from the lower mechanism, then I don’t see how to open the hatch.
Bought 3/32 in cable clamp and cut it longitudinally . Put it in front of the actuator and the lever and squeezed it around the wire. Getting it back in was a pain but has worked fine for over a year.
How are you liking your 1st gen sequoia? My wife and I want to sell our house, pay off debt, sell my truck on a loan and buy a 1st gen Sequoia for her and a tundra for me! And then we also want to build a post frame home with the rest of the cash!
That sounds a great plan! We love it. Overall a very solid reliable vehicle. We bought it in 2018 for 10k had 113k miles on it which is super low for these with the age. It was in Portland which was 12 hrs away but worth it cuz it was nice clean and rust free. Haven’t done a thing to it besides normal oil changes, timing belt which is very important to do on time, and this back latch and cable thing which is super common with these. Otherwise they just run. I think this 4.7 v8 is one of the most reliable Toyota engines made as long as you service it on time. Never uses or leaks a drop of oil. Oil is always amber colored on the stick never even dark brown. The only other vehicle I’ve seen similar was a Tacoma I had with the 2.7 4 cyl which is also a amazing engine they made for many years in smaller vehicles. I also like the first Gen tundra from what I’ve seen and would’ve purchased one as well but I inherited my dads 07 when he passed so that’s what I use. That has the 5.7 which is also a very good engine. Not quite as good on fuel. Either one of those you’re not doing it for the fuel mileage lol. But yes, I would totally recommend either one of those for a safe, reliable vehicle for many years. Try to find lower miles if you can in a rust free area of the country if that’s a concern for you like it was for me then you should have them for many years to come. Best of luck on your building journey too!
