Door Lock problem
Now before I get the 3rd degree on searching Ive done that. Ive had my car (01 gs300) for about a month now it was purchased through the auction when I received the car the key remote didnt work so the doors had to be locked by hand the switch inside doesnt lock or unlock them either I know its working because I hear it clicking does anyone have a idea what I can do to solve this issue.
Ive replaced the battery in the remote If I lock all doors by hand and hit the lock button on the remote it beeps. ??????? But I still cant lock or unlock the doors with the transmitter.

You haven't searched at all......if you did you'd find out your actuator is shot......
Search "Door lock actuator" under the 2nd Gen GS section......
In a nutshell, you'll have to either replace the motor itself or the entire actuator. Depending on how mechanically inclined you are.

No.....
One bad actuator will cause the locking to not work in general.
IE, my current rear driverside actuator is giving issues. If I fully unlock it and lock it, chances are it will not lock, and I won't get the 'beep' sound.
One bad actuator can ruin everything. If it doesn't get a signal that the door is properly 'locked' the car in general won't lock. Because if it does, and ignores that signal, then if you open that door, the alarm will go off.
