Ok, so after a run to the local home improvement store to pick up some lawn furniture I get home and pull on the handle of my lift gate to open her up and she won't open. The handle seems to have less resistance. I searched on here and found some clues but not sure what it is. I looked in my Haynes manual and they don't even talk about the rear lift gate door handle at all.
Anyway, I squeezed in to the back of my 80 amongst the lawn furniture and was able to remove the trim and get a look inside. I'm not the most mechanically gifted person in the world but I believe it is the linkage or something. When I pull the handle from the inside I can pull the linkage over to the right and the lift gate will open. I saw a reference in an old thread about a plastic piece that holds the linkage in place or something.
Does anyone have the Toyota diagram of what it is supposed to look like so I can compare it to mine? Thanks.
