Helpful Expert Reply:
If your 2017 Lexus RX 350 didn't come with the factory tow package then an additional harness with a powered converter is needed to actually activate the plug that you used to install the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118252. This Tekonsha harness is designed for vehicles that came equipped with the factory tow package.
Unfortunately, the converter harness is not available as a separate item from the manufacturer so your only option is to get the Tekonsha T-One Harness # 118255 instead, which is designed for the Lexus RX 350 that doesn't have the factory tow package. This particular harness includes the needed power module harness that plugs into a factory port behind the interior trim panel in the rear cargo area.
I have attached the written installation instructions that you can also check out.
