Product Description

This tailgate lock and cable assembly is designed for secure and reliable operation of your vehicle’s rear door. It features a robust metal latch mechanism with an integrated lever and a cable assembly, ensuring smooth locking and unlocking of the tailgate from either the exterior or interior. The included electrical connector supports any electronic locking functionality present in compatible vehicles.

Fitment is noted for Toyota Quantum models from 2005 to 2019. If you own a Toyota Quantum within this year range, this part may be suitable for restoring proper tailgate operation. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before placing an order to ensure compatibility.

Common symptoms of a failing tailgate lock and cable include difficulty opening or closing the tailgate, a loose or unresponsive handle, intermittent or non-functioning electronic locking, and visible wear or damage to the latch or cable. You may also notice the tailgate not staying securely closed or issues with the electrical connection to the lock.

Replace the tailgate lock and cable if you experience these issues or if the mechanism is visibly damaged. Early replacement prevents further inconvenience and ensures your cargo remains secure during travel.
