Who is interested in a G/B on Doorlock Actuators?
I never knew this was a common problem for the GS (seems to be really prevalent among 98-99s), but one of my door locks is getting lazy (have to push the button 2-3 times to get pass door to lock/unlock). I have spoken to about 3-4 people that have the same problem in passing.
I PM'd Steve Ganz regarding a G/B and he asked me who was interested, so please vote on this thread, and I will have Steve review it and let me know if a G/B is feasible or not.
EDIT-Just figured I would add this as info, the part is 198.00 shipped from Carson, so if there is enough intrest, perhaps we can get a better price!

I have that exact same problem. I will walk up to my car and pres unlock twice. It will beep twice, I jump in and all the passengers are standing out in the rain still. Kinda funny for me, but still it is a Lexus and it shouldn't be doin that.

Would buy this part and maybe a spare if you get the price reasonable. It is amazing how high Lexus has priced this part compared to other manufacturers.
My driver's door actuator failed about 4 weeks ago, without any warning .

To do another test w/o depending on the remote, I would manually put the key into the driver's side door, and sequentially turn it to the right twice to unlock it (i.e. insert key into the door keyhole, twist it clockwise about 90 degrees (driver's door should open), return it to the central neutral position, then (within 0.3 seconds) twist it clockwise 90 degrees again. If this unlocks all of your doors, then your actuators are working, if not, then looks like you really need those actuators.
Good luck.

Well my lock works(right rear door), but the reading light and dome light don't come on when it's opened. I was told it was the door lock actuator. Something about the light switch built in with the whole assembly......Would a new door lock actuator be what I need?? If so, I'm definitely interested in one.

Sorry bud, I dont think 6 people can get us in on a G/B, Steve quoted me something like 189 for the part, maybe you can have a local mechanic (maybe JPI) install it for you!

Sometimes weak remote batteries don't allow the 2nd press to get transmitted, so try the next suggestion tf the 2 fast sequential UNLOCK remote presses don't work.

). Pushing the button on the door doesn't do it, or on the key. Now my drivers door is doin this. My Lexus is no better than my 1973 Porsche, but there was no power locks back then! I am still very interested in this GB. Chime in people. D Got 20's, maybe people on here who are having this problem don't know it is called the acuator. If you started a new thread, with a differnt title (i.e. Poll: Doors not unlocking always with your remote? Come in for fix) Sumthin like that, maybe we can get more people interested in the GB. Thanks for heading this up too BTW, if we do get some interest it will be awesome!-Chris
I could have used that money on something better.
