Hi vipXjunky,

6 pin connectors are for the front doors and 4 pins are for the rear doors. That's what one of the lexus dealer parts dept. texh guy told me a few months a go. Double check with part dept. dealer in your area pls.

Has anyone tried just cleaning them out? Maybe the motors get gunky and need a blast of CRC

The little motor wears out internally. The shaft ends up with too much play. Best to spend the $5 to replace them and move on

I bought the cheap actuators on ebay, I assume these are the same, lasted one month total piece of crap so I fixed my original.ones with the motor swap, stay away from the cheap aftermarket ones. You have been warned, Oem or motor swap only

Yeah I think it is just a metal motor in a plastic housing though so not sure it would be worth 200 to 400 each, but if my ebay ones brake in a year, that will be fine. A month, we got issues.

If mine were breaking in a year, I would be pissed. It's not a 5 minute exercise changing these. My $5 motor change is going on 3 years now.

I didn't look for 5 dollar motors but the actuators oem were 200 bux each minimum so I'm ok with 30 bux for two and it was about a 20 minute job per door. If they last a year I will be ok with it vs paying 400 bux but I would try the motor now if that's not to bad and only 10 bux.
