    Hey guys just installed my
    $200 pl8540 pop & lock – power tailgate smart lock combo with bolt technology for toyota tacoma, fits 2005 to 2015 models (OEM color black, PL8540)
    pl8540 and tapped into the correct blue/red and blue/black wires and the truck will not lock through the fob. truck unlocks via fob but will only lock through the door switches. The tailgate locks swell through the door switch. I've checked fuses and wire connections but everything seems to check out. Ive removed my taps and still will not lock through fob. Any ideas?

    Just installed the same today. It unlocked perfectly, but would not lock via the fob until I closed the hood.

    Was your hood closed?

    There are a number of posts where others have had similar issues with electronic versions. That is why I stay with the manual version,
    $80 PL5500 , Standard Lock
    PL5500.

    I installed my Topper/Tonneau lock from Pop & Lock today too, but haven't wired it yet (gonna do this weekend). Just tested with a 9v battery. Works good.
