Hey thanks to your video my husband and I did the actuator in our 2000 Lexus GS300 we referenced your video every step of the way and it went extremely well.

WARNING, IF YOU DO THIS ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR DISCONECT THE BATTERY! The driver's lock can open or close the windows even if the key is off. So when removing or installing the latch assembly, the lock rod being pushed or pulled on can cause the window to roll down unexpectedly. Ask me how I know :-)

Thank you for showing how to put it back together haha. That’s something a lot of these videos lack.

Great video, directions are spot on, the only thing I would also recommend is disconnecting the battery. If you accidentally unlock lock the door with the actuator plugged in while installing it, all the windows roll down and sunroof opens. If you hand or actuator is n the wrong spot when this happens, bad things could happen. I got lucky and nothing broke. If you don’t want to disconnect the battery, just plug the actuator in last after everything is bolted together.

Nvm I’ll jus lock each door individually

Thank you for your video really helped, saved me time and money. Appreciate it man

[tedjohnson]

Thanks for the great instructions. You made the job easy!

I usually disconnect the MPX box so there is no power going to the door controls. Also, if you watch the part about how the clips on the door handle work you don’t need to remove the door handle. You can take the clips off from inside the door with a long screw driver.

Great video just purchased a 2000 gs with the same problem. Ordered the parts from ebay also. thanks for the video.

bro thank you so much, you explained everything very well and made it easy to follow along.

[azimmey]

That is crazy, I thought this was a Lexus and it seems they put a ford or chevy part in there. That is a lot of work. Thank you for the video.

Question . Would it be the actuators or something else ? I click the power lock on my door and I hear the click but none lock or unlock

[SalVations]

Hey man. I rarely comment on videos but had to come say thanks for this. This helped me out immensely.
