hello, some fresh news. I received my new PBD yesterday and it took 2 min to plug it in my RX: the boot's light came on, then all the rest OK. So in my case, I am now pretty sure the problem is a component failure in he PBD printed board (temperature sensibility?). I spent about one hour to replace all element (PBD, plastics, etc...), it is very easy to remove and reinstall. for information, I bought the PBD at Partsouq, dubai. 461.95USD and 140 USD add for custom Lexus france told me 1 500 USD only for the part, and 1 800 USD total replacement incl. In my case it worked and no need to spend further money, 600 USD is quite enough. if you have some question, don't hesitate.

thank you for your help Vadim I succeed to remove the PBD motor from the ceiling. Like you, I examinated the printed board, but look OK. I bought a new PBD at dubai, partsouq (460usd) and I will receive it in few days. I'll tell you if the new one solve the problem.

hello herbie I,d like your infos too if possible many thanks

hello everybody, jean-christophe from france nice to meet you. I'd like to share my experience. I have the same trouble since 3 years, no PBD working, no lights, no bips, etc... the two last years, the trouble happened only during winter season, when temperature dropped below 2°/ -0°. each time, I succeed to fix it by heating the roof compartment with an hair drier and it work all the rest of the year. this winter we had a cold week early february and the PBD doesn't work again but this time even heating it, unable to fix it. lexus told me that I have to replace the liftgate motor/ECU. I think I'am going to do it by myself, it's look like easy. I will give you some news.
