LEXISM....

my door lock went out also...

if you think the problem is small...is isnt...the problem is big. haha...(why am I laughing...the damn thing cost 200+ each...i dunno?)

I just ordered an actuator from carson and let me tell you....its a pretty big mechanism.... I will be doing a DIY step by step of the install in the upcoming days when my car gets out of the shop.

My passenger front door lock actuator just went out about a week ago. I am planning on replacing it myself. I have been checking around for part prices and the best I have found so far is partsdiscountwarehouse.com for $188 plus shipping. This sounds like a good deal, but I know nothing about the vendor.

AZGS4, once you get the actuator from partsdiscountwarehouse.com, can you let us know how your experience with that retailer was? Thanks....

can you use door actuators from an aftermarket alarm? would that serve the same purpose?

My drivers door lock was acting up. Would partially lock/unlock but wouldn't work so I had to manually lock/unlock the drivers door with the key. Pissed me off. Big fancy Lexus and I walk up and use my key like I did with my 1991 Prelude in college. Made an appointment with the service department to get it fixed and what do you know, it started to work again after 5 weeks of not working. Ever heard of one just starting to work again? Got to love Murphy's Law! I figure it will probably go out again.

Horacio, If I end up purchasing the actuator assembly from partsdiscountwarehouse.com I will post feedback on my experience with the vendor. I am a liitle hesitant to pull the trigger and make the order as there is no phone number available on the website in case I have problems. The part is only $12 more on irontoad.com, so I may end up ordering from them.
