Weird issue started last night--I have an 08 and when you go to lock the doors the two front doors will not lock--you can see them jog a little but do not lock.. The back doors and rear lock fine. also I have them set to auto lock after you take off and again all lock but the front doors?

 

Hmmm--No one has ever heard of this issue I guess! GOing into dealer Friday

 

Never heard of it happening to two doors Let us know what comes out of that dealer visit.

 

Lexus said both front door actuators bad? Thats so freaking bazaar---both front doors at the exact same time---wow crazy

 

wow....both actuators shot huh?

i'm afraid to ask you hjow much they were asking to fix it. my dealership wanted $500+ just to do one!! i ended up buying the entire lock assembly from sewell for $190 and did it myself.

 

Its still under factory warrenty

 

Dirty brushes in that little 12V actuator (made in China) motor.
Had one door out of 5 working. Now they are all clicking (locking/unlocking) as new.

Toyota probably sells hundreds of them a year and they love the business at about $300 a piece. How many end up in garbage just because of $1.50 worth part?

Nice write up! Yep thats exactly what mine looked like, both fixed now!

 

had i seen your post i would have done that and saved myself @$188.50!!!!

 

Well, maybe when ever your next one goes out, you can fix it for nothing!
Lets hope that you have saved the old one for parts and have the motor ready to be used again (after cleaning).
