I've read through all the existing remarks, and I think I have something to add which is different, and may help dissect the issue: We own a 2001 RX300 and a 1999 ES300. The RX has always worked from afar (150+ feet), and still does. The ES has gradually stopped working from afar over tha past 8 years or so, and now only works within 25'. I have erased the ES opener and re-entered the code according to Lexus instructions to no avail. We have a 30 year old Overhead Door brand garage opener with a 9" wire antenna that hangs straight down from the unit, and an aluminium garage door. If our RX didn't still work from afar I would think the issue could be from things other than the ES sending unit but, given the RX still works fine, it must be the ES sending unit. Anybody have any new insights given this input, or suggestions on how to begin "fixing" the ES sending unit?????? Thanks Mike in NC
