Can you open it from inside? ← I'm having the same problem. I can open it from inside, but not the outside. Do you know what part I need to buy........or maybe a rod or something is simply disconnected? what do u think? here's a link with some parts i may need... http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/ind...t=2&catalogid=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA_GS400 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I even took it to a certified lexus mechanic and he does not know!! ....not without you paying him to take a look inside the door he wouldn't. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungrin Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Rod from the door locking mechanism became unhooked.Take off door panel and u will see a metal rod not hooked up.I fixed mine a while ago but my driverside door was missin the rod so i had to buy a door locking mechanism.I installed it today and my door works i bought it off someone who had a wrecked sc. they cost $369 from the dealer and wont sell the rod alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungrin Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 its probably a rod that became loose and came out.Why not just take off door panel and see 4 yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDOwen2 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I have the same problem and found that there is a small plactic clip that holds the rod in the door handle mechanism. Haven't been able to find the clip. I have read that a wire nut will work. If you're lucky the rod popped out of the clip, mine broke.
