Yeah i just saw that the rears are not the same .....(back doors open and close just fine but it doesnt turn on the courtesy light ) but i am guessing by replacing the actuators would take care of the problem...what do you think?? since from what i understand the circuits are inside...
the front passenger door opens and closes only had to shrink rap the cable and the driver door opens it 95% of the time but closing it ....well i cant trust it so i always just flick the **** ....
soon ill open up the driver door and see if its a match since it also fits the

i know you said you haven't had any issues with the piece of shrink wrap but eventually you will. i had it on my drivers door actuator for bout 5 months before it just wouldn't lock correctly. nice fix assuming no issues with it, would like to see another member do it and confirm it.
good step in the right (cheaper direction though) although i wish they JUST sold the stupid lock cable as i broke mine and ended up replacing the whole actuator after the shrink wrap stopped holding. i WISH someone would find us a cable that works the same

actually the switch that operates the dome light / courtesy lights is a separate switch on the latch assembly itself. i know it sounds stupid but did you check the bulbs yet. when you open the back door it should turn on the dome light, the courtesy light on the roof pillar right above the opened door and the light at the bottom of the opened door in the door panel. if any of these 3 work when that door is opened then that switch is good, and i would check the bulbs, them i would check to make sure the electrical plugs are plugged in at that light, and finally i would check the electrical plug that plugs into the switch on the actuator. check all of those and if all those are as they should be then i would either see if you can buy the switch from Lexus or see if someone has a used latch ( maybe with a broken actuator ) that they will sell you the switch off of. lmk. please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. thanks

sorry to hear you had problems with the shrink wrap. mine has been done for over a year with no issues and i live in phoenix, az were it gets REALLY hot and i still have had no issues. i started to do some cross referencing on the cable to but most Toyota dealers do not stock items like that. i did order one for an 02 Avalon ( which uses the same actuator ) but it was a no go as i attached to the door panel / inside door handle differently.

Ok i see what u saying .....this what happens....if i open the left side back door the light does not go on but if i leave it open for 2 min or so the light will magically come on and stay on but if i close the door and reopen there is no light again for another 2-5min ...as for the right back door ...well i can leave it open for a day ...nothing happens .....please input...also can the switch be bought?
Problem is you have to cut the plastic that secures the switch in order to get it out. Making installing a new switch tough. I have swapped a switch successfuly, its been in my right rear door for two years now. You need epoxy, a steady hand, donor switch, and a dremel with cut off wheel.
