I installed the autoease power lift gate kit on my 2021 Kia Sedona. Took me a solid 6 hours! I'm very handy and it was still a lot of work! So everything works except for the key fob. The front interior button, rear interior button, and outside gate button work, but the key fob does not work. I’ve tried the long press on the trunk button, as well as the 3 clicks on unlock, did not work. I hardwired the yellow trigger wire to the "white" OEM trigger wire, which was stated in the instructions as the correct wire to tap into, although i'm thinking it MAY NOT be the right one. I also tried to use the OBD port adapter, still did not work. I also tried different fuse locations and it did not work. I looked through the settings on the dash board and there’s no option for “power tailgate”. Any idea what else I can do. Firmware update? I've contacted the company, but they are lagging on the reply. Another issue, the door pops when it unlocks. It seems the door is trying to open before it unlatches, there is some force to it opening. Any thoughts on how to fix this? It closes softly, and quietly. Also, I’ve tried both OEM latch, and the latch Autoease supplied and it’s the same issue.
Hi I installed this in my Toyota CHR, it works fine but whilst I am driving the tailgate suddenly starts beeping and it opens to quarter position, then i have to turn off by pressing switch. Any advise would be most helpful.
Hi. . .I have a 2011 Subaru outback that I would like to install a power tailgate gate on but I don't have the expertise to do it myself (I'm a 77 year old Nana !). The dealership is not interested in helping. Where would I go to get assistance?
Does the green trigger wire for the foot switch HAVE to be wired to the same OEM wire that you used? Can I connect it to the same yellow trigger wire that is connected to the main wire harness? I've already installed everything, and put it all back together. Everything works except for keyfob. The issue I am having now is, key fob trunk button not working, and the foot switch has not been installed, still debating if its needed. I'm waiting to figure out which trigger wire to connect it to...hopefully my question makes sense. Really appreciate the time you spent on this!
Is the trunk not opening when you press the trunk button on the keyfob? Or is the trunk not opening when you press the unlock button on the keyfob 3 times?
@@bwell1986 i was able to get the keyfob to work with the help of autoease. the guy actually facetimed me lol. the issue is, the long press on the trunk button wouldn't open it, you have to do 3 "slowish" clicks on the unlock button. it takes a few tries to get the rhythm right. regarding the foot sensor, i tapped into the trigger wire for the OEM external trunk button, the button that is right above the license plate. you just tap into that, run constant 12v, acc, and ground, and the switch will work. i did notice a major flaw in the system which is, if youre driving and you push the interior trunk button that the company supplies, the trunk WILL open in the middle of drive. i'm assuming that doesnt happen with a factory installed power lift gate, but i could be wrong.
@@TimSmith-db1iu ah yes in terms of the fob buttons, I got the same results. From what I understand, in order to get the trunk button on the key fob to work, auto ease would have had to do a lot more work integrating into the can-bus system of the car.
@@bwell1986 seems like it would be an easy fix because when i do a long press on the trunk button on the keyfob, the car responds to it with 2 flashes of the rear tail lights. that signal has to be going somewhere. have you had any issues with the kit? does your auto pintch feature work on close AND open, or just close? i've had to have several custom firmware updates. it's getting old tbh. i ended up revising most of their manual for them, and they refunded me some money for it.
@@TimSmith-db1iu I had the same thought but didn't want to tinker too much and screw something up trying to get the trunk fob button to work. Only issue is the foot sensor is more sensitive than I'd like. It gets accidentally triggered all the time when standing behind the car with the trunk open (while grabbing stuff out of the back of the car). I think I need to move the foot sensor just a bit further towards the front of the car.
Great video! How did you find this kit? That tool that lets you pop the car panels out is really nice! Does it come with the kit or did you buy it separately?
Thanks! Found the kit through some of the Kia Telluride forums. The trim removal tools didn't come in the Autoease kit, but usually Auto Zone or Harbor Freight has them on the cheap.
If you're referring to the latch motor that is circled @ 0:44, I don't think so. I did not fix or attach it to anything. The plastic cover held it in place from what I could tell.
I have this for a 2022 Telluride, I had issue finding the wire to hook up for the remote open of the tailgate. They said look for a 12v positive pulse signal, but I've not been able to find it. Any suggestions?
At about 10:15 shows how to find the unlock wire which is what the unit uses to trigger a trunk open (from pressing unlock 3x). But if you're talking about getting the trunk button on the key fob to work, afaik it's not possible (with this kit and a 2021 telluride).
@@bwell1986 yeah, I know the trunk button won't work, the notes and customer support said I needed a 12v positive pulse signal for the unlock wire, I just could not find a 12v positive pulse signal, I think I originally hooked into the same wire you did but it still didn't work, I'll have to try again, it's possible the yellow wire got damaged while i was pulling it also... Appreciate the response
ordering from Autoease would be ship from China. Did you have to pay additional cost for Customs import fees? Their website didn't mention anything about Customs fees.
it would be usefull to show the wires that you are routing since the kit labeling isn't so great...without this video .this installation would be impossible since the kit comes with no instructions except what they send you and they are almost useless. Wire routing ..slow down..show us the wire bundle so we can identify them and tell us what we are doing before you show us how you did it...I will say support via email was excellant..i had questions and autoease answered me promptly. Recommend placing control unit on the left side of the hatch rather than the right as shown...the cables for the actuators is plenty long while i ended up splicing some wires upfront to extend the power cable at the fuse box because i end up about 8 inches too short. end result everything works great...my removte requires 6X unlock to open with remote fob, bumper foot motion works good. I did not attach red wire to fuse box as the instructions were not good in explaining where that goes. I think thats a safety to prevent the hatch opening while the engine is running. Also, lock your doors at night. I think a cat walked under my bumper and open the hatch just by passing underneith it. hatch ended up open all night.
How did you connect the foot sensor power wires at the fuse box. Did you just locate the right voltage wires and t tapped Into those wires or purchased another type of connector?
@ryan jag I used a fuse tap. The optional foot sensor package included one, but it was the wrong size for my car which uses 'micro2' (the fuse tap in the package was a 'mini'). I bought the right sized one (micro2) at autozone: www.autozone.com/electrical-and-lighting/fuse-and-accessories/p/bussmann-circuit-fuse-tap/547344_0_0
I've DIY'd a few projects similar to this which definitely helped. I'd say it was an intermediate complexity. In total maybe about 8-10 hours, I didn't really keep track though
Those two wires hook into fuse slots in the drivers side fuse panel, just to the left of the steering column. I used fuse taps to connect them to the fuse panel. If you need more details as to which slots, there are some additional notes about this in the description above.

@@The2chopsticks thanks so much.
If you didn’t want the key fob control feature, can you install without tapping into wires for door lock?
I haven't tried so I'm not sure but I don't see why this wouldn't work
I wish the manufacturer would come up with another way to either add a connector near front door or maybe fuse box so you don’t have to tap into wires
Does it matter whether the vacuuming motor is on the right or on the left?
I believe it needs to be on the right (passenger side)
Hi does same kit work for a 2022 Kia sorento?
Hello, nice work. Is it necessary to fix the vacuuming traction motor? Will it be enough to leave it behind a plastic cover?
