      Well aside from a dead battery, the switch in the key is not working anymore, or the sensor which unlock your vehicle is busted.

      What happened in my car is the lock got stuck for some reason but there are no problems with the key or the actuator it self.

      Air trapped in cooling system - bleed it. Is it running hot?
      or
      A/C drain clogged- clean it. Is the RH F floor wet?

      The Coolant system has been flushed by the Lexus dealer. The floors do not get wet. The sound happens regardless if the air system is turned on, or even if its A/C, heat, or just vent..It still makes the gurgling noise when accelerating. You think its the AC?

      Did it gurgle prior to the flushing? It's possible that is when air was introduced into the system. If it was recent, I'd take the car back there. They shouldn't charge you for a quick inspection of it.

      start by checking the fuses. possible just a blown fuse. If the fuses check out ok then you will have to start testing the climate control to find out if it is getting power to the control unit if it is then the climate control unit is probably bad

      On the 3 plugs in the back of the control unit which is the power line.

      if you are doing your own elect. diag. then i strongly urge you to invest in a service manual from the dealer. it will pay for itself in the long run. good luck

      A bad air mix control servo on the driver side. Try pressing the auto button and recirculate buttons down at the same time to activate the self test on the climate control display. Write down any two digit codes that display and re-post with them. Will look for your reply about 24 hours from now. Kevin

    I was wondering if I need to buy an antenna replacement or the motor? Every time I turn on the radio it sounds like a loud thumping sound and the same sound occurs when I turn off the radio.

      they come in kits that you have to wire the ballast to the existing circuit. There's all different companies that are manufacturing them right now. The kit is usually the 2 headlight assemblies then the two ballast and instructions for the conversion

      How do I check for power? I have a small volt meter.

      I was also advised to bang on the door to see if shaking the brushes loose would allow the window to work. If I can get the window then works temporarily, then there must be power, but that seems like it is ht or miss.

      is the a/c compressor kicking on and cycling after charging the system? If not the a/c compressor is probably the problem check it for power and ground when you have the a/c on at the connector if it is getting power then the a/c compressor is probably bad

      Call Lexus and see if the part #'s are the same. If you want the real answer with all the details, make it worth there while and bring a few regular coffees to the local Lexus parts dept. If you include some donuts you may even get to chat with a tech that might know.

      I would call it the window control module, and it will be a dealer only item. I doubt there are any after markets for that. It could also just be the main switch check the connections aren't melted anywhere or dry and cracking.
