Default Strange things

so yesterday i saw my trunk was open in the garage and i closed it. then i saw it open again. so i cosed it and watched after about 2 min it pops back open again. then i groguht my key downstaires and unlocked the car and closed the trunk same thing. then the car started makeing wierd noises light lock unlock. i looked at key and the red light in the top right corner was flashing on and off without me pushing any buttons. so i disconnected the battery in the car. i figured that the remote inthe key is dead. right?


thanks
eddie

You sure you dont have any (keys) in the trunk? like in a bag/purse or something? It usually wont let you lock the key inside.

Nah....but I would have done the same thing, by disconnecting the battery if not....I would put the car key far from range to see if its that.

you still didn't find the culprit?

Valet key don't have the smart access, so it won't detect it if it's in the trunk.

well, our vendor lexus-parts.com (sewell lexus) can get you another key for cheaper.
