98 ls400 key not properly function
So I pretty much just replace the battery on my key and now when I hold the trunk release button the trunk does not open anymore, press unlock button to unlock all doors have to be press/hold a bit in order to fully unlock all doors. Everything was fine before change of battery, anyone know what could be the issue? Can I reprogram it myself or do I need some special equipment?

First check the contacts inside the key housing to make sure they are properly contacting the battery and that nothing inside is broken. I had to bend one of the battery contacts in one of my wife's "book lights" just last week so that it made good contact with a similar flat battery.
Or maybe you got a bad new battery. You wouldn't be the first.

Disconnect the negative wire from the battery and connect back after at least a minute.
This usually reset/reprogram everything to default factory setting. if you have an aftermarket keyless entry you will have to reprogram it manually.
This is just my guess since im not to familiar with lexus yet (just got an 96 ls 400, week ago).
