I have a 2006 Lexus rx330. I bought the car used. When it was originally purchased the automatic button on the interior of the car and the auto button on the key would not open or close the rear hatch. The button in the glove box is in the right position. I lifted the rear hatch manually about 3ins while holding the button on my keys and that didn’t work but now the rear hatch will go down automatically with both the key and the interior button. It still will not open though. It makes the two warning beeps, the latch opening noise and a whirling noise and opens about half an in before shutting and clicking again. Is anyone familiar with this problem. If it’s the struts that would be a lot cheaper than having to replace the motor. I look forward to any advice you have on this.
