Lexus RX350 rear hood won’t open due to suspected electrical issue on Lexus RX350

Some Lexus RX350 owners report experiencing difficulties with the rear hood not opening due to suspected electrical issues. These problems may stem from faulty electrical components, such as relays, the rear ECU, or sensors. Additionally, some owners find that the release lever and cable can be obstructed or damaged, hindering the hood's ability to open. In cases where the electrical system malfunctions, a manual override using the release wire or lever inside the vehicle may be necessary. Misalignment of the rear hood is another factor that can prevent it from opening. For those unable to resolve the issue independently, seeking assistance from a professional mechanic is recommended to diagnose and repair the underlying electrical problem.
