Sage advice Markuson, as usual.

If you do over-trim or want a slightly tighter fit, the covers are super inexpensive at the dealership.

67848-60050-E0 = SAND BEIGE
67848-60050-A1 = SHELL
67848-60050-A3 = FLAXEN
67848-60050-C0 = BLACK

Price is ~$11

Recently realized one of my license plate lights is blown. They are led and relatively new, and the other day when I was working on wiring some lights I realized my rear hatch is tapped into that light for the back light. Has anyone else had this happen to them? The instructions were straightforward for what to tap into.. wondering if I did something wrong back when I did it and only realizing now

edit: flipped the bulb and all is well

Joined the club today. Had an exterior switch malfunction, replaced, and figured it was time to do this interior switch. Simple install - thanks @cruiseroutfit and team for making this available!!!

Hi everyone, I'm trying to complete the install of the interior switch that I purchased from CruiserTEQ, but the wiring colors don't match up. I feel dumb to ask this question, I know the blue & white attach to the door switch but I'm not totally sure which pair to splice them into. The green & black attach to the light, but the ground on the light also seems to be backwards so that should be an easy adjustment. =/ I'd like to finish out this project today.

Do you have the printed instructions from the kit? They should indicate the tie in points with vehicle side colors.

I do have the printed instructions. The colors just don't seem to match up. I guess I will attach the blue to blue and white to black on the switch. For the illumination, I will do green to white and black to green. Fingers crossed!

I’m not at the shop near instructions but I’m reading blue to blue and white to white.

Got it! Reading is fundamental. Everything works. I made the cutout for the switch just a tiny bit big, need to find some epoxy. Besides that, awesome stuff.

Does anyone know if this kit allows the hatch to open if the doors are locked?

I need this kit, but my dog rides in the cargo area, so I'm hoping for a solution to prevent him from opening the hatch while going down the highway.

Pretty sure it just jumps the switch wires momentarily. I don't have the kit, I used a switch from another toyota to make something similar. Before I installed a pull handle I had some cargo bump the switch and it unlatched, but didn't open the upper hatch. I only happen once, so I wouldn't take that as an answer. It hasn't happened since I installed a handle (repurposed 3rd row grab handle) that sort of blocks incidental access to bumping the switch.

I've wanted to do this mod for a while but it's just so easy for me to hit the button on my fob. Do these work for those with a 2018+ that already have the external power lift gate button?

Sorry to thread jack with a dumb Q, but is there a manual release somehow through that trim panel door?

Need to drop spare and battery is out of the truck (doing multiple installs).

No connection to locked status.
Its powering the motor directly.
That’s important if sleeping in back with door locked if you need out in a hurry.

What I did on mine to be sure cargo shift wasn’t going to accidently release it…was to install a cabinet handle over the button (literally a black kitchen cabinet type handle. -This not only protects the button from inadvertent presses, but also makes shutting the hatch from inside easier when sleeping back there. The kit included a standard grab handle that folds via spring, but I prefer a plain, ridged handle for button protection. Works a charm and even stuffed full, nothing has inadvertently triggered the button.

Also no dependency of driver kill switch relay button?

In my experience, nothing disconnects the button except a dead battery.
