I have a 1997 ES300 where the alarm still goes off randomly once the doors are locked. Not every time, but enough to cause problems. Lexus theorized that it was a door actuator--replaced one and still happens. They replace the one of the back door that is used the least. I would have thought the driver door (with 215,000 miles) would be a more likely culprit.
Does anyone know if the actuator can cause such a problem?

Thank you for the response to my problem. I checked all and the opening and closing of doors with the dome light. Light stayed on for all doors, went out evenly at about 30 seconds. Is there a fuse for the security/alarm circuit? Not in the fuse panel inside driver side on firewall or outside under hook by battery.

I have a 1997 ES300, when doors are locked often the horn alarm goes off—but not immediately. Took to a Lexus dealer where they replaced a rear door actuator for around $400. Did not fix problem. I cannot find a fuse location for the alarm—if there is one. Neighbors do not like the middle of the night horn recital!

Thanks so much Trevor. Do you know another way to tests the door actuators? Mechanics seem to want to keep replacing them til the culprit is found--gets expensive.
