$26 diy VS $1,800 at the dealer. Door lock actuator

Had my SC430 for 8 days, the driver side lock won't automatically open with remote.
I can hear the click but the inside latch won't turn.
Sounds like this actuator went out.
just ordered the pair - mind as well get 2 and change out both sides from Amazon as listed above.
Now, begins the "fun" part of reviewing these steps and videos
Hope I can do this.

I just went to lunch and stopped at the Lexus dealer to get service history.
very nice service rep provided me with printout.
will need some maintenance: he suggested spark plugs, belts, fluids....
probably will need new brake pads and water pump
i went back to my car and was able to unlock & lock....but then not able to unlock..so intermittently works and then not, thus it is probably gotten worn & slipping inside.

i sure hope you can do some of the work or have plenty of money for the work...the work you listed could be up to $2500 at a Lexus dealer.
the timing belt, water pump etc is a big job on this car.

sounds like you have some catching up to do... I may have missed it but what year and how many miles do you have?

It's a 2006 with 118K
I know. I have my mechanic friend that will do this check list for me, a whole lot cheaper.
I will be handling him the tools, the right tools I hope.
