Troubleshooting highlander rear door 2014 to 2019

- 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.

This was my issue, thank you! Just got a used 2019 and been trying to figure out some things new to me.

Thanks for that. Apparently the guys that checked my filter’s during oil change hit the button. I Uber drive so that made the day suck.
@@paulpantera236 it happens. That or the back button are most common
THERE IS ALSO A SAFETY LOCK IN GLOVE COMPARTMENT! yOUR VIDEO IS VERY INFORMATIVE
Thank you.
Video was great - but THIS SAFETY LOCK solved our problem!!!
Saftey Lock was the key for me too. Thanks!!
Thank you for doing this comment here ❤ you saved my life 🙏
Thank you sooo much, I almost took it to the shop to get it looked at
Wow. We've been dealing with this for 3 weeks since having the cabin air filter changed. It was the button in the glovebox.
Also...never knew the window could open separately! Thank you for posting this!!!

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
Happy to help
Thank you. Soooo helpful!
Didn't realize that little button on the back door opened the window. Just got my used Highlander today and was frustrated that back door wouldn't open. Made sure the window was closed and voila, back door works! Thank you for solving my issue! 😊
Glad I could help
thank you Mr. Welch for posting this video and helping with your service. You just say helped me and my friend well we were stranded im the chipotle parking lot trying to figure out what the heck a glass door was
happy to help
Thank you, I thought something was wrong and was headed to the dealership for check up, thanks for your video, very helpful
Glad to help
Thank you for this! Just purchased a 2018 at Beaman in May, 2021. This was never mentioned. Had quite an experience with it yesterday, after having the Highlander washed. Window open, warnings flashing and beeping, back door not opening fully. Could have all been easily avoided. Wish I had seen your video before I left the dealership!
I am always happy to help. Next time you need a vehicle ask for me. I will make sure you know as much as you want about your new vehicle
@@stevenwelchtoyotacan you tell me why my manual rear hatch (2014 RAV4 LE) won't open?
Thanks for posting this ..... could not get my Tailgate door "OPEN" alarm to go off. After watching this, I discovered it was the rear Glass door that was open. Thanks again for posting.
Happy to help
I was about to go to the dealer bc my back hitch has been broken for a month now. I did not know it had customizable opening levels. And that button to left of glove compartment I’m sure was pushed by one of my kids! Thanks so much for this video!!
Glad I could help
Thank you…..your excellent instructions fixed my tailgate problem…. you know more than the auto techs who could not diagnose why my tailgate was only going up halfway.
I have heard that alot. Thank you
I haven't been able to open my lift gate fully on my 2017 Highlander. It only opened about a foot. Made an appointment at the Toyota dealership to tomorrow morning to get the darn thing fixed. 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.
That's why I made it
This was a HUGE help! Thank you! Some friends were getting things out of the back of my 2017 Highlander and then the door wouldn't close. We couldn't figure out what it was. Tried the other fix we found on the internet but that wasn't it. The window was open!! Thank you!
Happy to help
This was really helpful for me. Thanks.
My rear hatch would not open all the way. Turns out it somehow the custimize setting had been changed to 3 at some point. Put it back to 5 and works perfect now!
Great. Happy to help
thank you, trying to figure out why my Dad's back door wouldnt open , and the book was no help. Within watching your video for 3 minutes, my Dad now knows that the back back can open and won't allow the back door to open if window is open.
Happy to help
You the man sir!!! Thanks for the video. Have had this problem on and off for years and your video solved it just now. Apparently my glass door somehow wasn't closed properly. Oened it and properly shut it and voila!
Glad it helped
Thank you so much! I've been dealing with the door only opening 75% for like a year and I'm too lazy to take it to the dealer...I had a feeling it was something I did because the Highlander is such a good vehicle that the chances are, it is me , not the car lol. Thank you!
I also was thinking of getting a new one until you said in another video that the rear hatch window doesn't open anymore on the new models. I use that way more than the full door so that's a deal breaker for me. Very helpful thank you !
Awesome happy to help
Omg..lifesaver!!
Thank you so much! You are a life saver. I truly appreciate you taking the time to make these helpful videos!
No problem happy to help
@@stevenwelchtoyota Hello Steven. Thanks for the video. I have a situation where the back door (boot) is not opening at all. The settings is at level 5 and still I have to forcefully lift the door up to open and to close it as well. What do you think could be wrong?
@@pushmiababapushmia7545 have you tried the button on the left side in the glove box?
Pl😊😊
😊h😊
😊
Thank you!! Problem solved. If I lived near your state, you would be my salesman. You rock!!
People fly in all the time. Where do you live?
Thank you, Thank you, solved my problems, trying to read the manual was a nightmare!
I am very happy to help
This is the most helpful video I’ve come across! Thank you I have a Highlander and I was having the issue it wasn’t opening. This helped me thank you so much!!
Glad it helped. Super thanks is highly appreciated if possible as well
this video saved me a $250 diagnostic fee to fix my car... turns out nothing was wrong! thanks!
Awesome. Please like and subscribe
Button on the inside of the glovebox (left side) solved it for me. Thanks, Steven!
Excellent!
EXACTLY! I must have hit mine when I changed the cabin filter. It’s working perfectly now.
Man this is so helpful! I did the window glass & not going all the way up..I swear these new cars need a course to understand. Thanks much!
You found the course. Right here!
Wow thanks! You saved me a Christmas week trip to the dealership!
Happy to help
Thank you so much I have my car close to 3 years I run in to this problem today, could not figure out what on earth was going on thanks to you I figured the window was open I had to press it to close walaaa door shut!
Happy to help
Thanks Steve!
Some how ours was stick open giving us long beeps when trying to close. Some how the glass was popped open while the door was up. Easy fix, I just pushed up on the glass about an inch and let it “slam down” on its own. The car beeped a few times then I could close my door normally by hitting the button
Happy to help
Thanks. You have saved me a lot of money. I do Uber. I had to stop to figure this out. The catalog/book didn't help. Your video 📹 was 100% accurate. Thanks again.
Great. Happy to help

Glove box reset switch!!!! I called the dealer and they told me to try that before bringing it in, it worked.
It happens. It's on the left side of the box
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I wish I had found your video at the start of winter instead of spring. It was a pain getting my car cover in and out all winter 😂
What was wrong?
@stevenwelchtoyota somehow the tailgate setting was at 1. I never even go into my apps let alone the settings ut I switched it to 5 and now it opens just fine again!! Thank you

Check the power button on the left hand side of your glove compartment. That should be first. You're welcome.

Hey Steve, what kind of lubricant do you recommend for the struts?
they should be sealed from what I know. if you need to lube it maybe wd40
Thank you. My wife would have hurt me AND the boys if we didn’t figure out to set the door to 5. Thank you!!!
happy to help
I have a 2016 Toyota Sequoia with no automatic leftgate, I have tried asking my local dealer for the leftgate installation, they tell me my model is the only one you can’t add it later to this vehicle. Please help in Virginia.
Dude that level thing is killing me. Hopefully it'll fix it for me. Thank you!
Let me know if you figure it out. It's not something I have seen before. It might be one of those insurance trackers or also could be one of the cutoff devices from a buy here pay here
@@stevenwelchtoyota yes it fixed it, I couldn't get it off setting 2 I thought it was broken but it's fixed now thank you!!!
@@seanycha awesome! Glad to help
Very good video!! Thank you!
Happy to help
If there is a long (5 second) beep when you try to open it? I have tried everything, but no luck. I have heard that disconnecting the battery might fix things, but was hoping to avoid that.
ITs likely the jam protection. You may have to grab the door lift it all the way up and push both sides to the top then hold the lower button until the 2nd set of beeps to reset it
Thanx buddy, that was super helpful!!!
Happy to help!!
Thanks you... the glass door was open. The manual was not straighforward on that.
Happy to help
Your amazing thank you to help me and others
No problem
You are amazing THANK YOU!
Happy to help
Do you have a video on installing the rear power liftgate actuator on a 2016 RAV4 SE?
i dont
Thank you , you saved me❤️🌹
Happy to help
I've had occasions when the trunk door wouldn't open. I would just get a tone. Try starting your vehicle, go from park to drive and back to park. Your trunk should open. It worked for me a few times.
Its probably that the doors unlock when you go to park. Other than that it does not have nothing to do with the back door
Thanks! Window problem. Now cannot find that settings to Vehicle tab to reset height. My screen doesn’t match your screen in set up? Will spend more time later with the back buttons. At least the hatch opens and shuts if only to a lower level.
which trim level do you have?
Thanks so much it work 👍👍👍
glad to have helped
Thanks bro very helpful
Happy to help
What could cause the back door to only close 3/4 of the way. 2014 model
You reset the hight. That is easily fixed push the door up to desired level then try again
Very helpful . Another thing is my friend’s highlander 2009 remote does not open the rear door . He only opens it from the button inside the car or the manual button at the rear door. Please any suggestions ?
Does the remote have the button on it?
There’s also a button in the glove box that can turn the lift gate on or off.
true
This happened to me. Popped the glove compartment open and accidentally turned off the assist.
@@AsscracksOfdawn it happens
Thanks so much it helped me solve my problem,
helped me today. Almost made a trip to dealersihp
happy to help
@@stevenwelchtoyota And when I told the service center that my trunk is working and I am only going to be there for regular maintenance, I can feel the disappointment in the service advisor's voice......
@@pendyaaa I bet
That really helped me in fixing the half open rear door. Now my liftgate struts have a squeaky noise at opening and closing. What is the lube point on the struts to solve this problem? Thanks.
probably the hinges on the top. The struts are sealed
Thank you, thank you so much 🙏 God bless you 🙏
Thank you. Happy to help
I have tried everything you suggested in this video as well as checking the button in the glove box with no success. I want to check the fuse but don’t know which fuse it is. Can you help me?
You can pull up the owners manual for your highlander and search it for the right fuse location.
