2015 Lexus GX460 door lock actuator replacement

Step by step instructions on removing and replacing the door lock actuator on a 2015 Lexus GX 460. The replacement actuator was bought on Ebay from actuators plus who I highly recommend. This is the second actuator I bought from them - great service both time, plus Lenny (the owner) is an actuator guru and was able to correctly troubleshoot my problem via email. I paid around $50 for the actuator.

Saved me $1400 (front driver and passenger went out within 2 weeks of each other. Lexus dealer quoted $700 plus for each side) thanks so much because I would have struggled with much of this without your instruction!

The Lexus dealers here in GA want $1200 to replace one door actuator. Something a pro can do in 30 minutes.

This is the second one I replaced, I did the drivers door first and today I had to replace the passenger front door. This video has been invaluable thank you. What’s up with Toyota using crappy door actuators??

[@traceyport2124]

Wow...just came back to this video becasue the other door actuator needs to be replace.... Thanks R CH...That is now $1500 you saved me

Thanks for this video! It was extremely detailed and I was able to follow the directions to replace the driver side door actuator for my 2016 Lexus GX 460. The shop was going to charge almost $600 (the dealer would have been significantly more)and I was able to use an aftermarket part that saved me hundreds! Took about 30-40 minutes and that’s being very careful with the clips. Much appreciated!

Thank you so much, you are a huge blessing, very detailed, I followed you along and was able to change my door lock in no time, blessings.

A huge thanks for taking the time to record this. Followed the steps exactly. $100 in parts maybe, 2 hours of labor, and 2 doors swapped out. Saved me at least $600. Thank you!!!!

Great video! I just did both fronts today and only took a couple hours. One thing I noticed on mine (2012) was for the drivers side, the set screw that holds in the lock has a catch to keep it from falling out (learned that on a different video) So when I backed it out completely both the lock and cover came out in one piece. Not sure that will work for everyone but was handy.

Thank you for this. This just saved me countless hours of trying to figure it out myself or hundreds of dollars at the dealership

[@SoMiss1965]

Great Video....thank you for sharing...I was quoted ~$800 from the dealership. Bought a refurbished part on eBay for $60 with a lifetime warranty. Took less than 30 minutes with your instructions. THANK YOU!!!!

Super helpful video, completed in 90 minutes or so with plenty of rewinds to complete steps.

Thank you for this fantastic tutorial. This helped me a lot, and i was able to replace the actuator on my 2015 gx460 with ease.

Thank you so much sir, I followed your video to replace mine, ordered it on Amazon for 35$. Between you and GX Bob the job was fairly easy👌👍

[@DIY_5280]

Thank you very much for the video, I have a 2014 LX570 and I could not find a video specifically for the LX lock actuator, it turned out to be exactly the same process as the GX aside from removing the door panel which is very similar too. I was able to get it completed in about 2 hours taking my time, thanks again

Great video. The camera work and attention to detail were excellent! Thank you!

[@charlieko]

Apparently, the lock commonly breaks on our cars. Great video. Thank you.

[@georgefelix7906]

I have seen the video many times because in my Lexus I do have the same issue. Thanks again.

[@albisrosario7098]

Thank you, Very much. This is a great video. Very helpful.

[@bbistheman]

Thanks for the video, followed your instructions, worked great. Back door is easier because you don't have to fuss with the lock.

Thank you for this video, you helped me save 600 dollars in parts and labor. I really appreciate your help !
