Problem lock black button and unlock feature
This is my first post. Never had any issues with my 2007 Lexus ES350 until now.
Yesterday, I got in my car and the notification on the dash told me my key fob battery was low. So I bought a 1632 battery and installed it. Was able to unlock/lock car with no problems. Started car and no notification about the battery. This is where the problem starts:
I get out thinking all is good and I try to lock the door with the outside black button on the handle and a long beep starts. I press the lock button on my key fob and it locks the doors. I try to unlock the car with the door handle and nothing happens. I press the unlock button, on my key, fob and door unlocks. The inside unlock and lock buttons work.
Now i have noticed from time to time time when I tried to unlock the door with the door handle, it sometimes didn’t work but I didn’t pay it too much attention...until yesterday when it completely didn’t work at all.
Any thoughts on what could the problem?
