Pull a fuse to disable the powered lift gate?

Curious if any of you have dealt with this. I have a 2013 RDX that I put a 2" hitch to use a bike rack. I'm worried I might forget when I have the hitch rack attached and hit the power lift gate. Do any of you if there's an easily accessible fuse I could pull to disable when I'm running the rack?

You can try fuse 13 under the hood, and if there is a wire tracker you can trace the wire to make a switch in the cabin.

Awesome, thanks so much for helping! That would
be convenient to wire a switch in for sure…

Your light/blue wire should go in the wire harness under the driver's sill cover. First make sure that fuse 13 cuts off the power
