If key unlock button doesn't work is it solely related to the key (dead battery) or is there something else inside wrongnorm - 2002 Lexus ES300 - Body & Interior - 7/8/2010-
7/8/2010 ChiekotzWell 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.

Liquid sound behind dashboardJonathanCarroll - 2001 Lexus IS300 - Body & Interior - 7/6/2010I hear a "gurgling" sound from behind my dashboard when I accelerate but not when I am at a constant speed, what could this be so I can get rid of it?-
4/5/2010 MolemanautoAir trapped in cooling system - bleed it. Is it running hot?
or
A/C drain clogged- clean it. Is the RH F floor wet?
4/5/2010 JonathanCarrollThe 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? -
4/7/2010 MolemanautoDid 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.

Climate control is not functioning and cigarette lighter is not workingbgray - 1992 Lexus SC400 - Body & Interior - 7/6/2010-
5/10/2010 Bobbystart 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
5/10/2010 bgrayOn the 3 plugs in the back of the control unit which is the power line. -
7/6/2010 tommy tif 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

4/5/2010 JimmyMustangI 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.
