2010 LC200 Hatch Problem (1 Viewer)

[Mwburns]

A buddy of mines 2010 hatch release button is only working intermittently. The button on the exterior handle has been replaced but still needs to be pressed 15-30 times before it will release.
Has anyone has this issue?
Is there a portion of the wiring harness that can be replaced in the hatch?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Could this be related to the car sensing the key fob? Maybe change the key fob battery or hold the key in different spots to see if it makes a difference.
