mmehtas Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I had the dealer fix the driver's side door on my '01 LS430 on Monday because it would not open from the inside (broken cable). Everything was fine until yesterday. Park the car and lock it. Come back, press the unlock on the remote and I hear the door unlock. Did not open the door within the 30 seconds and all doors lock automatically. Press the unlock button on the remote and nothing happens. Acts like the battery on the remote died (but you see the red LD light on the remote). Try unlocking manually with the key and NOTHING; door won't open. Called my wife and tried the second key - same results. None of the buttons on the remote s worked either (no trunk, no windows, etc.). The car is now back to the dealer. Any ideas what this could be? Could the repairs on the door earlier in the week have something to do with it even though all was fine for 4 days? Would appreciate any thoughts.

RFeldes Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Sounds like they disturbed a connector or wiring when they went in to replace the cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping that is the case as well. Unfortunately, I probably won't hear from them until Tuesday because of the Memorial day holiday.

Bagolex Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 how much did it cost to fix this. was is stuck in the locked position and unable to open from the outside as well as the inside? If so how were they able to get to the lock mechanism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
