I just got my Christmas bonus today and I went food shopping only to come back to my NX 200 and the lift gate died half way up. Well I thought there goes my Christmas bonus, as I know Lexus is going to charge me several thousand for a new motor installation. But I thought, just for fun, let me check TH-cam for a possible solution. D Barkman, you are the ABSOLUTE BEST IN MY BOOK. I went to the setting on my dashboard and low and behold my Lift Gate button, for some odd reason was turned off, I have no idea why, I never go into settings. I turned it back on and the lift gate works. It's a miracle. I can't thank you enough, this made my Christmas. Happy Holidays to you.
Superb. Thank you so much. I had this same problem and did not knew what to do. Thanks to TH-cam and folks like you who share solutions of many problems. God bless you.
You are an angel! It works! None of this is intuitive. I thank God for you and TH-cam. I have a meeting tomorrow and getting into.my trunk is essential.
@@LocTran-t1d Try looking in the owner's manual very, very carefully. I think it is buried in mine someplace in the 550 pages! Maybe it is in yours. Or, call Lexus.
Appreciated !! My 2014 behaved a little differently - pressing the auto-off button in glove compt then doing the hatch lift/close then re-enable auto button restored sanity ! Thanks for the inspiration.
@@samwise6479 the older model with the push button have a different set of instructions from what I remember when I researched this. Glad to be inspirational.
How do you open the trunk without the key... Mine stopped with the trunk completely closed so when i use the key or anything it pops and you can open it but only a little
Hello, Is this the problem come back after a while? I have the same problem keep happening when cold weather or rain. I just manually close it and turn on off engine it back to normal.
This problem can happen whenever the battery is disconnected while the tailgate is open. So make sure the tailgate is closed before disconnecting the battery. The solution to this problem is simple. Get a screwdriver and jam it into the latch on the tailgate, so it thinks it has successfully closed. At this time, you can press the switch on the tailgate and the tailgate will continue to open. Once it starts moving, quickly press the button to close the tailgate to stop it. Once it stops, press the button again and it will continue to move slowly until the tailgate is completely closed. At this time, it should return to normal.
@@CaptVideo No. I am just the owner of two Lexus vehicles. This problem does not only occur on RX but also on NX. So I guess all Lexus vehicles should have the same problem.
You are welcome. Judging by how many people find this cliip useful, I would think Lexus might make one of their own easily available. Til then, I'll take the thanks!
So helpful!!! This happened right before our road trip and we almost had to cancel it until we saw your video. Thank you!!!!

@@DavidKeindl-v9t your comment made my Christmas. Glad your bonus is intact. Share the joy. 😃
Thank you so much. Battery died a few months ago and this was driving me nuts.
I know the feeling. merry Christmas.
Thank you sooo much for this video! I couldn't find a video to fix my 2020 Lexus but I tried this and it worked! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
you are welcome, welcome, welcome.
This worked for my 2016 Lexus RX 350 F Sport! You're a genius buddy. Thank you so much. You just relieve me of tremendous level of anxiety.
You are welcome. Always nice to know I've made someone's day easier.

I changed out the lift struts and it didn’t function properly. I did what you said and now it works. Thank you very much.
Thank you. So helpful. I had a similar issue with my 2016 RX FSPORT. This was extremely helpful.
You are welcome. Technology is great until it isn't. I actually found out how to do this from a Toyota dealer video.
This worked for my 2019 UXH. Thank you so much!
I have the same issue on my 2019 UXH but the problem still ..
You are most assuredly welcome. Now people with your model know it can help them too. -- except the fellow who commented on your post.

Glad to help.

sorry. I am not that much of a Lexus expert. Try asking your local dealer.
Best help I got - You are a star🎉
Always happy to help. It's a frustrating experience. Your comment brightened my day. Thanks.
Hello,
Is this the problem come back after a while?
I have the same problem keep happening when cold weather or rain. I just manually close it and turn on off engine it back to normal.
Sounds like you have a different cause for your problem. Probably means a trip to the dealer.
Thank you so much!!!❤
You are welcome. Drive in peace.
Believe it or not, I had to look up my own video to reset the door after I disconnected the battery a year later.

Thanks. Nothing I researched mentioned this. Do you work for Lexus? Thanks for adding the comment.

I tried your method and @Captvideo both seem not working at all for me :(
That fixed my RX350 today, much appreciated!
Very thankful this comment 🙏
Thank you So much.
Now I can close my Lexus power back door.
Lexus dealer would charge me $250 and up.
Happy to help for a fraction of the cost. You can email a check to me.
You are an angel thank you so much :)

Thank you!!! ❤

Thank you. Many happy liftgate openings to you! Now, if someone can explain why I lost the Sport+ setting for driving, I'd love to hear it.
Thank you!
