bigboykilroy Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I have a 2005 RX 330, that does not have a factory tow bar/package on it. I want to order the "kit" that contains the hitch, 4 pin connector etc. http://www.sewellpartsonline.com/parts_detail.asp?id=87774 BUT it say some models not equipted with option "TO" have to have the Lexus OEM Junction Block Assembly No.1 Part Number 82670-0E040 http://www.sewellpartsonline.com/parts_det...72896&all=Y I can even find a sticker like the GM's that have the RPO codes on them. Where is this Junction Block Assembly No.1 even located to see if I have it on my vehicle already or where it installs to? I did check the Fuse pannel and it has the black marked fuse in place in the "tow" slot. I say black marked because all the other fuses in the block have a black sharpie mark on them as if they were checked from the factory. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Dura_Max Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 its in the under the cargo area, left side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDixon Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 its in the under the cargo area, left side. The cargo area is where the plug-in is located for the electrical connection for the tow package equipped RX. The OP needs to know where the "junction box" or "converter box" is located. It is rumored to be under the rear seat, driver's side. Taking out the rear seat should reveal it but I haven't done it personally. One post said that it looks identical to the non-tow package converter box. Here is the link. The post is on page 4 by HipsterDoofus. The OP may want to send him a PM to see how his installation was done. He noted that it was no fun. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...39543&st=45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboykilroy Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 I think the only real way without taking the car all apart is to install the tow kit and test it, if i have power at the flat end plug and all my lights on my boat trailer work then im ok. or does the converter box do some other function? Should the dealer know from my VIN if the vehicle has the "TO" option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey00 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 its in the under the cargo area, left side. Your talking where the converter block is located on the RX300. They are talking 05 RX330. Two different locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
