Default Door lock actuator or cable?

Just wondering.

Driver side cannot open door using inside door handle, but outside door handle works.
Door still locks fine with remote for outer door handle and I can see the lock activates on the inner handle.
That's an issue with the cable right?

So I need this part?

I had this same issue on my 00.
Driv door wont open from inside.
Took it apart and it was indeed the cable.
Broke at the latch side.
Had a spare when i bought a whole door lock actuator from ebay.

Just a straight replacement of cable from end to end right?

There is another cable, but I think it's specifically for the lock portion of the actuator. It has the word remote control on the part.

There are 2 cables.
1 cable is for the inside door latch to open.
The other cable is for the lock/unlock function either wirelessly and manual operation.

From my reading over a couple threads and google image.

cable for inner door handle = 69710-48010
Reference: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...ml#post8360009

cable for lock button = 69750-48010

Have to go into dealership to place special order. Hopefully it's in the local warehouse.
$32-$35 Canadian dollar gouging price for this cable.
