The driver's door cycles twice with the remote or door switch? Is the door open when this happens? Check you ignition cylinder. Does it make a chime when the door is open and the key is out? Email me

It cycles twice either way w/ the remote or the switch, open or closed.

It does not chime w/ the door open and the key out.

I tried to email you but the board said I couldn't if you want to email me back

it's ynot6399@hotmail.com

Thank you

If the actuators not working then whichever door it is should not lock or unlock? right? I checked that and they all seem to be working the only thing is the actuator in the drivers door shoots off twice when I unlock.

Does that help in diagnosing my problem?

Checked the fuses, reset the ECU still nothing. As for my other master key I don't have one. I also noticed that when it's acting up I can't open the trunk from the remote either.

Interestingly enough I just had the battery (under the hood replaced) less then two weeks ago. Could that have something to do with it?

Someone from is300.net said On the drivers lock cylinder ( the only door with one) there is a sensor on the backside of the lock. it sends a signal to unlock or lock all the other doors when the key is used in the lock cylinder. they are made of thin plastic, and the clips that hold it on sometimes break off. if it broke off in a lock or unlock postion, it would continuosly send a signal to lock/unlock the doors. Does that make sense to you guys? I'm going to pull off the panel and check that.

Thanks for the reply but I don't believe that is the problem. If the button was sticking wouldn't the red light keep flashing. Any other suggestions, has anyone else heard of anything like this happening?

I have an 01 IS300

I go out to my car a couple of days ago, Sat Feb 19. Unlock my car w/ the key get in and drive to my girlfriends house I get out of the car and try to lock the doors w/ the key and it does not work I try a couple more times and nothing. I think it might need a new battery, I come out a half hour later and by force of habit I hit the unlock button once and it works, but it opens all the doors I think nothing og it. As I'm riding down the street I hear a noise and turn down the radio and my doors are unlocking for no apparent reason this happens three or four times then stops. I'm totally confused and have no idea what direction I should head in. I would like to avoid stealership at all costs. I found a thread last night about reseting the remotes and did that today but that did nothing. I also bought a new battery for it. As of right now it will let me unlock all the doors with one push of the button and it only works one time if i lock the doors again and try to unlock right away it doesn't work, also it sounds like when i unlock the doors from the inside of the car it sounds like it's unlocking them twice. Any an all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
