Hi guys, I recently had my hatch die. Window still works. Wiper still works. After opening the hatch manually, when I try to close it the half latch is recognized and the door soft closes the rest of the way. I tested the switch at the ECU.... the violet/white wire goes to ground when i press...

My guess is that you have the positive and negative leads reversed. I did this the first time I tested my circuit as I was incorrectly assuming the long lead coming off the LED was negative. Sorry this is 3 years later..... lol I am doing this mod to my '04 4runner currently (along with...

Thanks Falkon for providing the instructions. The OP gave a lot of interesting info but left out the most important part! This fixed worked for me as well..... here is my story. I recently bought a 2004 4Runner and when I bought it the TPMS light was flashing. It needed new tires anyway so I...
