Driver side door lock
My Lexus RX 300 front driver side door will not lock or unlock with the wireless remote, but the other doors will lock and unlock with the remote.
Any suggestions on what the repair and the cost on this.. Thanks

Welcome to Club Lexus!
Please do a search here, you will find three options.
Piggyback door lock actuator ($5-$7), replacing the little RC motor inside of the current door lock actuator ($20 max, can be done as cheap as $10), or replacing the entire door lock actuator assembly ($$$).

Can you give me an estimate on the labor for options 1. and 2. I called an independent Toyota/Lexus company and they gave me a price of $550 including labor for option 3. I am wondering how much the labor would be if I replaced the RC motor inside the door lock actuator. Do you know where I can get the RC motor for the inside door lock actuator and the approximate labor cost? Thanks!

I would just do the piggy back method (just did it myself a few months ago). It's not a bad diy if you are handy. A mechanic should not be getting much more than $100 to do the piggy back. It's a 1-1 1/2 job.

After having tried both methods, I like this method more: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...-write-up.html
Show both DIY's to your mechanic, and see how much labor he would charge.
