First, the remote locks and unlocks all the doors except the driver door. When you lock the driver door manually, the automatic door closer does not work. When the driver door is not locked, the auto closer works like it is supposed to. Will changing the actuator motor fix the auto closing problem to or are they a separate problem?

Thanks for the help!

 

what did u ever find out about this problem? i have a similar issue on my drivers rear door... locks work randomly... now auto door closer stops func..... (fyi i have an 07 LS460)

 

I went ahead and changed the actuator motor and everything works like it is supposed to. It wasn't very hard thanks to the tutorial i found here on Club Lexus. Good luck with yours.
