I'll assume power since your saying motor, so i will also assume it's not the latch or cinch but the actual motor that powers the door.
that being the case, the motor is the majority of the cost (about $1400 from the dealer new) the labor is fairly inexpensive. It pays 1 hour to replace is all, which runs about $150

I apologize, the site sends call requests that cost $26, that must be what you saw.
just ignore it to save the money.
I am about 14 hours from you, so I can't unfortunately or I would.
Let me see if I can find a mobile tech in your area.

if you want to replace it yourself, I can certainly provide step-by-step instructions.
otherwise you can call -(###) ###-####in the morning after 8am and schedule a tech to come out and do it. Make them aware you have the part and are only needing it installed.

How difficult is it as a DIY?if so, you would be coaching me throughout the steps to completion?

it's medium difficulty i guess, just taking apart the interior.
I would send you step by step instructions. No necessarily coach you through it.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.

I need to have replaced the rear hatch door actuator (liftgate) on my 2010 Toyota Highlander Limited. I have the OEM motor so it would only include labor. I live in Phoenix, area code 85044. What is the total cost of remove and replace. Mechanic's Assistant: Just to clarify, what's the exact code? And have you tried to reset it? I have tried to reset it several times as per instructions on several websites with no success. I took it to the dealer who said the motor needs to be replaced. Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Highlander yourself? What have you tried so far? Nothing other than read several articles. I have the motor and the tools to remove the panels.
