Tailgate/ hatch electrical problem.

Tailgate/ hatch electrical problem.
Very strange electrical issue. Often when after opening and closing rear tailgate, dash idiot lights turn on. ( bulb warning, chk engine, vsc trac, vsc off) illuminate) and while driving, every time brake is applied reverse light comes on and side mirrors automatically adjust downward. When taking off brake reverse light turns off and mirrors return.
Its quite irritating.
pretty sure it is one or both tailgate or rear hatch wiring harnesses. Neither Concord Lexus or Oakland Lexus find a solution. Told replacing harness is $2400!!!
can someone send my s rear wiring diagram?
Thanks!!!

You'll need to remove the harness outer jacket with a seam ripper or similar...do NOT use a knife. Inspect the wires underneath and I'll bet you see exposed conductors that are causing your problem. I replaced the bad wiring, insulating with heat-shrink. I also used heat-shrink to recover the outer insulation on the harness. No issues after that. ETA...you' will need to get more of the harness out of the tailgate to make the repair, meaning remove the carpet pad from the tailgate, remove both left and right internal covers and release any wire holders so you can get 4-6 inches of cable inside the tailgate outside so you can make the fix. PM me if you need more info.
You could also check Toyota dealers as wiring is identical to the same year Land Cruiser...the price you were quoted is what I'd expect...after all, it's Lexus and you're not exactly in the cheapest labor area in the country. If you'd like a great indy shop with a couple of Cruiser-heads, call A+ Imports. They're in San Carlos about 3-4 minutes from 101. Good folks with whom I've had great service.
