keyless entry won't work
[QUOTE=hubey;3361090]My keyless entry will not lock or unlock the driver door, all other doors work fine. Any ideas?[/QUO
What year is your RX? How many miles? Are you the original owner? If it is an earlier RX the most common problem is worn out brushes in the little tinker-toy motor (Chinese made). The are not serviceable. Does the inside drivers lock button operate the lock? If it does then the problem is elsewhere. If you can give us a little more info I am sure one or more of us on this forum will be able to help you.-Y/T- Roger

It is a 99 with 112K. The drivers door will not lock or unlock with the keyless button or the button inside the car. The only way to lock/unlock is by using the key in the door, or physically pushing the lock lever inside the vehicle. So that sounds like the motor you are talking about. Im sure this would be an easy fix, no?

I've read a very detailed thread somewhere on Club Lexus recently about this. Details on how to get to the motor, and low-cost motors, for sale on eBay, that will fit as replacements (or at least to replace the brushes).

This is neat and ingenious. Who cares if it is not the "Lexus product" ... as long as it does what it is supposed to do without compromising the safety and driveability.
GS forum has a long thread and a member popped open the mechanism and found the problem to be the faulty 12v motor. The motor can be purchased for couple of dollars (same or cheaper than your add on solution). The only unknown is, does RX uses the same lock assembly and if different, does it use the same motor.

This guy from Ebay is selling the same actuator/motor for all Lexus models, so it might just be a generic part and the GS could work on the RX...?
