Lightbulb 2011 RX Safety Lock

Hey everyone I have a problem with my driver side rear door's child safety lock.

The safety lock is STUCK/BROKEN on the lock position and i cant get it back to normal...

The door could only be opened from the outside right now at all times.

I took the door panel off too see if i could do anything to make it unstuck but very unfortunate...

The safety lock is a whole module itself. I bought it to my mechanic he checked it out and said it cannot be fixed and has to be replaced and he quote/estimated me just the part alone is roughly $300?

Has anyone had this problem? Or know how much the part would cost in Sewell?

I tried looking it up but cant locate it

That's the 1st I've heard of that but guess anything is possible. If you're past the 3/36 part of your warranty you might drop into a Toyota store just to see what they say. Another opinion to see if it's an 'easy' fix wouldn't hurt.

Not every part is displayed on the Sewell site. Drop an e-mail or call them, they can send you the part numbers to use under the search bar. Also, they can send you the exploded view, similar to what you can currently see for other parts/components.

I just bought a rear seat release cable for mine. Sent me a pic to confirm.
