My GS350 came back from the body shop yesterday. Driver side rear door touch lock dose not work. I'll take my car to the body shop next week, but I'm wondering what is causing this problem. Basically, I want to know how the door touch lock operates. Does it have any sensors attached to the door handle?

Thanks.

 

Why was the car in the body shop?

 

There are touch sensors in the door that will respond to touch and activate an interrogation of your FOB. If your FOB is within range, it will unlock or lock or doors according to the menu you set up when your car was new. That's the way it was explained to me.

 

There was a minor fender bender.

 

There are sensors inside the door panels near the release handles. Did they have to go into your doors or take them off? When I got mine tinted, the installer removed all my door panels (long story) and forgot to connect one back. All my other doors still worked except this one until he went back in and connected it. Sounds like the problem you are having.
