JMorton Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 The rear power door/hatch on my 2004 RX330 quit opening. Whether I try to open it using the key fob or the button on the dash, it won't open. Last week I replaced the battery (myself) and wonder if some kind of "reset" is required to overcome the power interruption after changing batteries. I'd hate to pay the dealer big bucks to fix something simple. Does anyone know of a simple fix? JMorton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bumped it it would lock the door/hatch from opening with the fob or dash button. Good luck & HNY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the owners manual for instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccb Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 JMorton, I had the same problem the other day. I called a dealer yesterday and they said the same thing about the lock button in the glove box which fixed the problem. I still don't understand how it got switched but.... He also said that if that didn't fix the problem, to open the rear door manually, make sure it opens all the way and then shut it. Since I didn't have to go that far, I can't say if it works or not. Hopefully you've gotten yours fixed. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMorton Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Thanks for all of the advice. I tried pressing the glove box button with no luck, then manually opened and closed the door. That worked! Thanks for the help! :) JMorton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx330driver Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 lol yes that is the solution that i found out the hard way. It turns out, if there is blockage when its closing automatically, it will not work anymore. you have to, as said, do it manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
