I just replaced the driver side door actuator with a genuine Lexus part and now I am having locking/unlocking issues. The key fob will work once and then stop working for a minute. Within that minute, I cannot lock or unlock the door with the physical key in the keyhole. After a minute or so, the key fob will work again once before not working for another minute. I replaced the battery on the 2nd fob with a brand new one and it did not fix the issue. When I use the door lock switch inside the car, it works flawlessly, locking and unlocking the driver's side door as well as the other doors without hiccups. This should mean that the rods were correctly installed. Before I changed the actuator, all the locks worked with key fob aside from the driver side. The driver side would work 50% of the time so I would just use the physical key to lock. I replaced the part with 69120-53030, but I realize that you used is 69120-553050. My build date is 07/03 so the 69120-53030 should be fine according to LexusPartsNow, it is for models 07/01-08/03.
I tried your method and it was a disaster. The rods need to be released before you take the actuator out. When you put the new actuator back into position and bolt it in place, you can then snap the rods into place without trying to fight the weight of the actuator assembly hanging loose. When the actuator is bolted back into position, the rods are at the right angle and height. The rod with the red and white clip can be seen from the top of the door in the corner looking down into the window slot. Use a flashlight to see the clips and position it to receive the rod. Do not take out the door handle lock assembly to try and disengage the long rod as he did in the video. Don't have to do that.
I replied just the motors. Did 3 doors cost $15 for 3 of them. Pain in the ass. But they all work. If you crack open that black case you can order the motor for $5 each. They just snap in. Ordered 5 more because of have 3 Lexus's
Your interior tripped me out so much 😂 I had to rewind to confirm what the exterior of your car looked like

Have an important question do you know if the door lock actuators can cause issues with the alarm going off at randoms times???
Honestly, I do not know
do you know if the rear will be similar? i may need this video to refer back to in the near future.
It’s the same concept, I haven’t really look at it yet, just very little space to work with compared to driver/passenger front.
How did you put back the plating from the door handle that fell out 9:26
Yes, that plate is important
Are those re upholstered seats or 2is?
They’re upholstered, I do have a video on it, check it out
