2008 LS 460 - Self-Closing Door Problem
My self-closing door feature on my driver door has stopped working recently. The other three doors self-closing door feature works flawlessly.
Is there an easy solution, such as a fuse? Or, does something else, more extensive, need to be done, i.e., should I seek out a professional mechanic?
As an aside, around the same time (if not the same time), my folding side mirror for my driver door stopped working. Any possibility they are related?
Thank you,
Larry

How about not recommending the dealership to someone on their first post without offering some other assistance or letting someone else have an opportunity to help them first.
Telling someone to go to the dealership without any assistance at all is not what we are here for. If that was the case, no one would ever fix anything on their own.
Who knows now if this person will ever come back and see the suggestions we've offered.

My car has the same issue but on the rear driver side but mirror still function. What I noticed, if you open the door and if the courtesy lights is not activate; meaning your switch is bad. But if you wiggle the switch and the lights is On meaning your switch is bad too. You can try to swap them switch around and see if that helps.
