Default Whole left rear door doesn't work as it should

So I was washing the car and while I was cleaning up I had this great idea to open all windows by the remote. All windows and moon roof opened and before I knew, the alarm was going off.

First time this happened to me. I tried everything, even starting the engine. So after I stuck the key in the door, it stopped.

But here is the thing: the window of the left rear door won't close anymore. Also the soft-close function doesn't work. Seems like the computer ignores the whole door.

Also, the car won't start because of the alarm/immobiliser. Maybe the system 'thinks' someone want to force into the car.

What can I do?

Note: I can temporarily shut the alarm off so I can start the car. My plan is to call Lexus and see if they can help me right away. If not, I am screwed.

One idea. Find the fuse replace it and while holding the window button down slam the door. Common fix on the es330
For everyone In hot climates exercise your windows and sunroof regularly

Thanks for your input.

I took the car to the Lexus dealer and there was a faulty cable. They replaced the cable and fuse, everything works fine now.

They drove me to my office while I left my car there and they also picked me up and drove me to the dealer. I like the service

The labor was pretty cheap too: 63 euro. Can't complain about it
