Bro I love the realness of the video, from dropping that light on your head and forgetting the light inside the door, and leaving it in the video. Keep it real Homie Hektor!
I need to do this to my ‘15 Lexus RC350. I brought it in to Lexus last month and of course the locks magically worked …. So the technicians said nothing was wrong. Wasted $280 diagnostic fee for nothing… now the lock on my driver side is broken again and I’m NOT paying ANOTHER $280 to get it looked at PLUS labor and parts. I’m gonna take this into my own hands (literally) and buy an actuator and get this done soon! Thanks for this video!
Bro, your vid is 16 mins so I thought it might take me 1 hour to do it since I’m not a mechanic and I’ve never done it before. Nope, took me 2 and half hours because I misaligned the actuator installing it the first time so after I closed up everything I had to undo it and do it again. Now everything is perfect! Man, you saved me HUNDREDS of dollars by not having to go to a dealership - I think I paid $60 for the part and the tools. Thanks so much bro 😉
Perfect! Just what I needed to replace the door lock actuator on my 2015 RX 350. Mine died on the passenger-side door, too. This really helped out. Thank you!
Thanks Hektor! Just did mine. Took about an hour. If anyone has trouble getting the top part in and out… the top on the hinge side must slide under the riser at the top hinge side of the door. So when removing pick up on the latch end. Replacing go hinge side in and down first.
Dude hector I like the video cause even though your done fixing the car you're showing it to viewers and to me that you are just a human being only. Like forgetting the favorite flash light. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for this video! It was a life saver. I refuse to give Sewell Lexus over 700$ for this repair. The part alone was 470$ plus tax! I bought the part on Amazon for 25$ (with 4.5 star reviews) and installed myself in a few hours. Had a few hiccups but I got it done! Women shouldn't be scared to fix their own cars. I did and you can too!!!
Awesome, Hektor! I just had this particular actuator go out on my 2015 RX 350. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! BTW: I wanted to stop the video and call you to tell you to fetch your light from the door! LOL :)
This was so well done dude. Thank you for showing all the small steps that so many people fast forward or skip over. After watching this, I feel much more comfortable tackling this job myself! Update: Just finished the job. Couldn't have done this without your help. Fun fact, I also left my flashlight inside the door!
Y don't ppl like Dorman but I see a lot of replacement parts from them? Great big btw ... Thank you for taking time to teach n share knowledge man! 👌💪🤘
Some dorman stuff is okay most dorman shit is crappy design or falls apart in five minutes or use theres also the occasional it doesnt even fit at all problem
this helps me alot, I hope. man, I am in Korea and I drive ES300H 2016, the facechange version. and I haven't even replaced the lights at my place. do you think I can do this replacement by myself?
Thanks for the video. I was able to remove the panel but couldn't get the actuator out because the window rail was in the way and wasn't able to remove it. I messed up BIG TIME when I decided to put the penal back in place and take it to a professional. The green lock cable came off the door handle when I closed the door shut. Now neither inside nor outside handle open the door and the inside panel covers all the cables. I called AAA and they said to try using a coat hanger to pull the green wire and open the the door. I'm so bummed out. I'm going to try going to a body shop or locksmith to see if they can open the door without having to cut open and destroy the interior panel in order to get the door open. Do you have any suggestions or ideas? Please help
These are the shitty Chinese parts that are put in vehicles nowadays, but still a good video from you once again. You need to start doing more tool videos Homie.!!!!!
I’m a female with ZERO mechanic skills and I literally replaced all 4 door actuators on my Lexus. Great video and I saved so much $ doing it myself!

Changed out 2 doors this weekend. Your video helped so much! Thanks Hector!

You just saved me $1000! I was able to do this all by myself by following your instructions. Thanks for the great video!
Did a valve cover and vtec solenoid on crv last week and left my hose pliers in the engine bay somewhere, R.I.P hose pliers ill never forget you.
Think of it as a donation to another tech. Pay it forward 😎

You are a great technician, they must be happy you work for them!
Best Mechanic EVER!
Thank you for the detailed video. I just finished replacing my actuator.

Great video. These directions worked for me. Same car, same year, and same door. Thanks.
Just changed out the actuator on a 2006 IS250. Pretty much the same setup. Great tip on loosening the window rail. Thanks for the video!
It works the same with a 2014 Lexus IS 250 just tried it and took me about 30mins. best how to vid!
The camera is ok, I'm half-cocked this morning anyway. Thanks again for the info. GO ASTROS!!!

Lol 😂 I was wondering about that light 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼

Great vid
That’s why I love you because you are funny😘
Very good
this helps me alot, I hope. man, I am in Korea and I drive ES300H 2016, the facechange version. and I haven't even replaced the lights at my place. do you think I can do this replacement by myself?
Gracias
I just now purchased this part can you tell me what tools I will need ASAP? Thank you
I wonder if it's the same for 2016?
Instructions work basically the same for a 2015 NX series as well
Do you have to disconnect the negative terminal battery before you take the door panel out?
Thanks for the video. I was able to remove the panel but couldn't get the actuator out because the window rail was in the way and wasn't able to remove it.

My feedback tone don't work on my Lexus rx350. What could it be? I have adjusted settings.
will this be the same for a Lexus 2015 ES 350?
its good
Bro I need mine done.
Mine locks and unlocked fine but the door ajar light warning says the driver side door is still open. What do you think the problem could be?
What is the difference between the C type and a base actuator?
What city is your shop at.. have this exact problem w my car
Test before putting the whole panel together
The reason those T-30 screws were easy to take off 8:30 , because that Actuator has been replaced already...Lexus are known for bad Door Locks.
How much does it cost to get this done at firestone?
Too much, don’t ever go there 👍🏼
Is that the same setup for the 14 gs350 ??
Mike B should be fairly similar 👍🏼
Thanks,
If you ever do a 13 to 15 gs350 please post.
I am not a certified mechanic but are supposed to check everything is working before you Putin everything back?
NOT IF YOU ARE A GOOD MECHANIC LOL
These are the shitty Chinese parts that are put in vehicles nowadays, but still a good video from you once again.
You need to start doing more tool videos Homie.!!!!!
I give it 3 months and itll be back youll have to replace it again @dorman shit
