Door lock actuator tutorial:  https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-3rd-gen-2001-2006/520505-ls-430-door-lock-actuator-tutorial-9.html

There are two types of actuators. With auto door closures (larger). Without auto door closures (smaller)

01-03 has a dip stick

04-06 is sealed (Still has drain, overflow, and fill plugs on the transmission itself)

Thanks for the Insight. I had the checked by Lexus, and apparently 3 of the 4 are crap. No surprise there. My follow up question is since I have to replace them, can I replace them with the "easy close" version?

Yes, the motor itself is the same for easy close or not. I have easy close and I replaced it by following the tutorial.

My 2003 LS430 has the perforated leather seats to allow air flow. However, a few of the little holes (perforations) have some dirt or something jammed in them creating white spots on the black leather.

Is there anyway to get those out?

I first clean normally with a leather cleaner, then use toothpick to clear any clogged holes, and then vacuum. I finish with leather polish. I use products lightly so that they don;t get in to the pores.
