Yep - you need a converter.

See this post for the part number and some other information.

Look at the link above and follow the thread. the first post gives you the part number:

If you don't have a towing package then an electrical converter is necessary - P/N 82670-48050.

This is a converter box that plugs into the loom and gives you the proper connector for the trailer hitch harness you just bought.

First, get the right part. Since your present part was from a Lexus dealer and they ran the part's application by the VIN it should be correct - but it may not be. It sounds like it is the wiring harness for a towing package equipped RX. Also, the part's box should have the word "converter" in the description somewhere and detailed instructions would likely be included to show where to plug it in. The part you were sold should not be just a wire with connector at each end. It may have a large grommet about 12 inches from one end. That wire "may" be necessary to plug into the converter when you get it but not having seen a converter I can't be sure.

Second, the converter plugs in under the cargo area. So you could follow the instructions in the first link above for disassembling the cargo area. Then drive the RX to the dealer with the cargo area taken apart and with the converter in hand and say, "Where does this plug into the harness?" A good Lexus dealer would be helpful in this situation so you may have to try a different dealership if the present dealership's service department is baffled, or worse, uncooperative.

First, in order to get the correct part and information, it would help if the vehicle information is correct. There is NO 2003 RX330. The part number you received, 08930-48010 is for a RX300. Some of the information people are providing here pertains to a RX330, different vehicle with different parts and part numbers.

The OP stated that the part was ordered by VIN number. That should pinpoint the year, the part, and the application. A dealer is not always right of course.
