Hey gents I know this is way off topic. My wifes 96' Lexus ES300 has decided to quit unlocking the doors. It basically won't unlock any of the doors electrically. It locks them all fine electrically. I can't find a fuse that is bad anywhere. Any thoughts on what else to try before hitting the dealer?

It could be a bad connection, but it's probably a bad computer. New cars have tons f little computers everywhere. My friend's a Saab tech, he said that a new 9 whatever convertible has 38 computers in it, 3 just for the top.

I used to work on Lexus', and it sound like it is a bad switch. Somewhat comon on those cars.

Blood red? The main switch on the door you think? Or is it somewhere else. Thanks for the tips too!!!

you could dissassemble the simple switches and clean the contacts. did the same for my dad's 89' Camry and that fixed the problem for his window and door switches. over the years they develop a bit of soot on the contacts and build up resistance. worth a try. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Try what he said. I would start at the main switch on the drivers door, but it could be the circut between both of them.

Ya pushed the Krusty button. Sorry, but I gotta say it: If it unlocks the doors fine, but won't lock 'em, WHY WOULD YOU LOOK FOR A BAD FUSE? That's an OH, DUH if I ever saw one. Ya gotta bad door switch, or maybe a bad controller. Will the locks work right from any position other than the driver's door? First thing I would check.
