Fixing girl friends 2001 Lexus RX300. Just did the window actuator fix (Thanks KZfaq) which involved replacing a unit on the controller board ($28 part on Amazon and $20 to have local PC shop remove bad component and soder new one) and now all the windows go up and down! Now gonna tackle these guys. None of them work except the rear hatch door. $34 gets all four door actuator assemblies on EBay so I am going that route rather than deal with taking them apart to the the $2 part inside. Thanks so much through for detailed video on how to get to the main assembly.

To help anyone else, the 2001 Toyo Avalon (and probably all 2000-04 models) uses a round shaft like the one in this video and has a 10 MM shaft. Search ebay for "FC-280PC-22125 (ROUND SHAFT)" the motor that works for Avalon models measure roughly Shaft (ROUND) 2mm diameter x 10mm length / Canister: 24.2mm Diameter (18.3mm on flat sides) x 30.5mm long Overall Length: 45.0mm (Tip to Tail)

This video is amazing and clear. With step by step. Thank you! Would you happen to have any video on the front door actuator replacement? I tried on the front door but I'm stuck on trying to get the window button wood panel off and also how to pull the lock assembly out to replace the actuator. I actually purchased a full actuator unit from ebay vs splitting open the actuator unit and replacing the little motor. I replaced the rear doors just fine following your clear video. Now I'm kind of stuck working on the front doors. I tried to pry the wood panel off just like the rear wood panel but it made a small crack sound and I had to stop. Thanks again for a wonderful video for the rear doors.

Here are some pictures of panel with buttons on the driver door: drive.google.com/file/d/1utBHEbWGc_SwvZ5GVfNjnjuHKJ06btct/view?usp=sharing You can see there is a clip on the front of it. You need to carefully pry it with a small flat screwdriver and pull it out.

thetrick4fun... My actuator seems to have plenty of some kind of factory grease. There seems to be a small bit of black stuff in just a few areas. Not sure if from motor or residual particles from me forcing clamshell open... Or both. Anyways I was originally going to add some lithium grease to whatever lube is currently in the gears but then I wondered if you can mix the lubes or not??? Then I googled it and it seemed like it might not be a good idea (since I dont know what the factory lube specifically was). Did U completely clean the gears of lube before putting on the new lithium or did U just add it to whatever was already in the clamshell? Did U use any specific kind of solvent? Waiting to hear back from you before I put the clamshell back together.

Hi, I followed your instructions and bought 4 motors from ebay. Only the 2 rear doors and the driver door motors needed replacement. But when I finished this strange thing happens: Unlocking the doors using either the car key or the driver's central locking button, when the front doors unlock, the rear doors are locked. And when the front doors are locked the rear doors are unlocked. Can you figure out why? Are all motors the same or the Left door motors are different from the Right motors? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I am working on a 2005 RX330 with a similar motor. After applying 12 volts of DC current directly to the motor's electrical contacts and giving it a few turns, I was able to get the motor to spin successfully. I attempted to clean the motor using contact cleaner and tested the motor one more time to make certain it operated. However, once I reinstalled the motor into the actuator assembly and reinstalled the component into the car, it still would not operate. I will be replacing the motor or the entire actuator.

@thetrick4fun 6 жыл бұрын

The old motor will never not work as good as new one. Maybe without load it spins, but with load it is not powerful enough to fully lock/unlock the door.

Good point. Even if I had been able to successfully get the old motor to engage the lock mechanism I would not place the motor back into the actuator assembly.

I got this totally completed (crazy glued together) and then realized that I transferred the black tape to the wrong side of the replacement motor (thus POSSIBLY making the electrical contacts less secure and / or POSSIBLY creating very slightly misaligned gears). That being said, it functions perfectly. Do you think putting the tape on the wrong side of the motor is anything to worry about? Your opinion on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think it is a problem. I guess they put this tape just to make the motor sitting tight in the box. I wouldn't remake it. IMHO
