2006 Lexus ES330 front passenger side door will not lock

After a recent right side rear view mirror replacement, my front passenger door will not lock. It will make multiple clicking noises (like it's trying to lock) but will not lock. I try to lock it manually by hand and by button on the door but that also did not work. Please help. Thanks in advance

    Which linkage are you talking about exactly? There's a linkage between the mirror and locking mechanism of the door?

    The door lock linkage. It's inside the door. Essentially what you have are some rods that go from the exterior door lock, to the actual lock in the door jam. Then there is a rocker cam that attaches to the door lock motor(actuator), and to the actual lock slider that is on the door panel itself(for manual locking).

    It sounds like whomever replaced your mirror may have inadvertently disconnected the linkage, or just forgot to reattach it when putting the door panel back on.

Sounds like the linkage may have been detached when the mirror was replaced.

Most likely the door lock actuators. Its unusual for two to go bad at the same time but also not unheard of.

SOURCE: Mirrors won't Work

the mirrors most likely need to be replaced, rarely do the switches go bad. try replacing your key fob battery. do the doorlocks work from the master switch? and make sure the auto dim mirror is on. the little green light is hard to see sometimes.

Sounds as though when your battery died the engine imobiIiser locked down.
YOU MAY HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A LEXUS DEALER AND HAVE THE MASTER KEY AND OTHERS REPROGRAMMED TO THE IGNITION...BUT
If you have your wallet key as well , try taking all to the airport. HOLD the card to the dash beside the ignition for at least 20 seconds, then try turning the key several times. I haven`t done an LS but the failsafe when a remote fails is to hold the key beside the ignition for at least 20 seconds ....
Also try the lock routine, but I think the issue is in dash..security needing to reboot to your key.
My understanding is that the lock routine re initialises the lock setstings when power is restored

Driver's side window will not work. Door locks work.

My mechanic took out the panel on the driver side control because my right rear passenger window would not work after disconnecting the battery (but the control on the passenger rear door works) and when he put it back, it worked..it's possible it's just a loose wiring connection. My car is a 2006 Lexus RX330 with 58K miles on it.

2002 Ford Explorer - Drivers side door lock, rear

Aside from the fuses, your drive side power door lock may be failing to work because of a bad door-lock relay system, or, alternatively, the locking switch/button, itself, is not malfunctioning and in need of replacement.

A great handyman site that specifies the above probable causes and more is the following link:

Replacing RH Side view mirror on a 2006 Toyota Sienna

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. Then you can access the bolts that secure the mirror onto the door
