Default I searched but... Door Actuator problem?

Ok, I searched because I am fan of not creating redundant posts, but I didnt get my answer.

My rear passenger door doesnt lock or unlock with the others. Additionally, the light doesnt come on when I open the door either. The last odd, new thing to be happening is when I unlock the doors and I go through the normal two click on the button routine, but after the second beep, about a second or two later there is a third beep with the doors unlocking again.

I just got the car back from the body shop and I know they were problem working with the rear door open for a bit. Is it possible that they disconnected something? Or do I need to reprogram my key?

Help on this would be great because at this point, I have put so much money into this car for purely stupid reasons that I dont even want to think about spending more money to make the damn rear door lock and unlock.

I just got my GS430 yesterday. My drivers side door has the same exact problem along with the third beep and the lights.

So exactly the same issues here. Any help on this would be great! Thanks

anyone got a little help in this department?

I know the shop did something wrong with my car, there are screws on the inside of the door making noise and dropping off on the inside, I can hear em rattling around.

I am going by there tomorrow to let em hear what I am experiencing... what a joke.. I am so freaking fed up with this its not even funny anymore.

Sounds like your actuator. You might need to change it out. You can check the third beep thing by unlocking the door manually, and then do the two click thing with the remote. I be that it won't happen again. Same thing happened with my actuator. Swapping it out solved my problem. We need to start group buys on these things.

Hmm..Any possibility that this problem is occuring because the battery needs to be changed? Not meaning that everyones issue is the battery but that a bad battery is resulting in the same issue?

My battery is dying out so maybe a new battery will give a little extra boost that that actuator and get it working.
