Default Door locks?

I know there are some threads on this already, but I was
Wondering on my 2000rx. What do I need to change to get the automatic
Door locks to work? Right now just the hatch and one back door unlocks
Using the button on the remote or the ones in the car. Any advice would
Be helpful thanks

Follow this DIY: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...-write-up.html

That is the cheapest option, another is to actually buy the door lock actuator assembly off of ebay for about $150.

That would be an affirmative. My suggestion would be to buy 4 motors, not just the 3 that aren't working. As a matter of fact, unless you are going to trade or sell the car next month, while you're on a roll, change all 4 of them. Think about it, the one that is still working has opened and closed (sustained the same wear) that the other 3 have. How much longer can it last? Probably not long. Make it the last one you do and you'll be getting good by then and it'll take about 1/4-1/3 the time as the 1st. one. They have a cheap "tinker-toy" motor in them that you wonder how they ever lasted as long as they did.
