Kick Sensor Not Working on a 2020 Lexus RX 350 After Hitch Installation
Updated 04/27/2021 | Published 04/23/2021
Question:
I installed a Curt trailer hitch on my 2020 RX 350. The kick sensor no longer works. Is there a position I can move the kick sensor in order for it to work?

Helpful Expert Reply:
It does not look like the kick sensor can be moved on your 2020 Lexus RX 350. If the sensor required moving most manufacturers make a replacement trim panel that would relocate the sensor but there is not one for your Lexus and the manufacturer said that it is not required.
I suggest first checking to make sure that when the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13272 was installed that the wiring and sensors were not somehow damaged or accidently disconnected.
I have also seen a few that have commented that they have to kick to the passenger side of the hitch and almost all the way to the bumper cover for it to work properly.
