I have a 93 lexus es300. the door opens from the inside but will not open from the outside. Can you explain or send me a diagram of how the handle operates. the handle appears to be o.k. and the lock is working properly. The handle costs 198.00 dollers! What should I look for to check and see if the rod(the piece that connects the handle to the lock) is the problem and not the handle itself?

There's a short rod held in place with plastic fasteners that goes from the outside handle to the door latch. You need to take off the door panel upholstery panel to get to it. Sometimes you get lucky and only need to put it back in place. If the plastic part is missing, look if it's in the bottom of the door. It's a small piece, but is a dealer item. A automotive glass shop might have them but not likely.

I just changed the cabin filter of my ES300. I found the instructions on the manual, under airconditioning and audio. It's pretty easy to do. I bought the filter from Kragen's for $21.95.

SOURCE: 93 lexus es300 overheating

with the engine running at operating tempature the electric cooling fans should be running. if they are not this means that one or more of the sensors could be faulty. either the coolant temp sensor on the intake manifold or the one on the fan assembly. also there could be a bad relay in the power distribution box under the hood. this would be a good place to start. with the engine running at tempature the fan should be running if it s not then go to the power distribution box and switch the relay of the a/c clutch with the radiator fan relay if the fans kick on then replace the fan relay if the fans do not kick on you have either a faulty temp sensor on the fan or the fan itself is bad. if the fan is running properly then it's a mechanical problem mostlikely your water pump is not circul;ating the coolant. to check this remove the radiator cap( remember if the vehicle is hot do not remove the cap it's under pressure ) touch the upper radiator hose if it is hot then the thermostat is open and it is ok if it is cold then replace the thermostat.if the radiator cap is removed and the vehicle is running you should be able to see coolant movement in the radiator if there is not replace the water pump

My Son has a 95 es300, the amp for it is located under the front passenger seat. The easiest way to access it is to remove the 4 bolts holding the seat down, and remove the seat. Takes about 5 minutes

The steel rod that connects the outside door opener from the door lock is disconnected. This rod pushes down the lever of the door lock when you pull up the door opener.

Driver side door can't be open to repair it.

I believe that door can be opened. If you can open from inside or outside it must be a latch has come off under door handle...I've seen a cop once take the license plate off a car and stick it between the door jam by the door handle and slide it up and down and the car door came open...Worth a try..And a slim Jim down beside the door handle to catch that latch that's off would be worth a try to

Driver side door removal of 1997 lexus es 300

Gently don't force anything. 1st check for any visible screws on door trim & undo. remove window winder if not power window you can buy a tool for this. carfully pull the trim out from the bottom of the door & work up. You will probably find it stops near the door handle. There is probably hidden screws behind the inner door handle trim & don't forget arm rests. just be gentle & yu should work it out & not brake anything

I can't open the door from the inside, on my 2000 Lexus Suburban. I went to open the door handle, heard a click, and can't open door. I can still open from outside, just not the inside.

the cable from the door handle to the door lock has either broke or the plastic retaining clip has snapped ,either way take the door panel off and have a look to verify exactly what is wrong
