Use your mechanical key found on your remote key, read your manual.

Default Key

Mechanical key doesn’t work because there is no power at all!

The mechanical lock isn’t controlled by electricity. Your mechanical lock probably could do with a shot of silicon spray be cause it hasn’t been used. You may have to play with it a bit, but it will open.

I found this to read on another clublexus thread here about the same problem.

Good luck.

Lolol. Did you try the passenger door? Assuming the 04 year had a key hole on both front doors.

You just put the key in the door and turn it. No power is needed at all.

Lube the lock and clean the key. My key picks up all kinds of bits of junk in my pocket all the time. The barely ever used door lock is outside in the rain, road chems and dust all the time and locks chemically freeze up. Give it a quick shot of PB Blaster, give it a minute to work and then try it. You may have to play with it a bit, but it should open soon.

Shoot some Silicon in there later.

Don’t let the PB Blaster stay on your paint if it splatters.

Good of luck and let us know how it goes.

If you have a AAA memberships, they will come and open the door for you, and even boost your battery and start your car free of charge.

Alternatively, do you have a spare key you can try?
