I have a new problem. Now whenever any door is locked, the rear hatch latch gets tripped and it pops open. Basically, the truck cannot be locked. I can lock the four front doors, but if I do and the back hatch is closed, it will not only not lock, it will pop open. UUUUUUGH!
Anybody come across this?

UPDATE: It seems the new part pulls the lock cable farther than the old one when it is in its normal position. Consequently, the lock is nearly "popped" at all times. When the car gets locked, the mechanism that stops the latch from working moves the cable just enough to cause the lock to pop. UGH. What a PITA.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Brought it to the dealer. The dealer part I bought was not made right. New part was installed for free and all works well again. Have to say that Toyota customer service is pretty decent. They could have charged me to reinstall the newest part, but they didn't AND they took the old one back. Star Toyota in League City, Texas rocks!
