Alarm System On Gs300se

[swdacosta]

I have a Lexus GS300 se 1999. It has developed a fault in which when you unlock using the remote handset, 16 bleeps are heard from or aroung the engine compartment.

I have checked all doors and sunroof hatch and the problem still persists.

I have taken the car to my local lexus dealer, and they have said that one of the door locks needs to be replaced at a cost of £140 + VAT.

Has anybody come across this problem before?

Do you think it is the door lock and if so is this a reasonable price to have ir repaired.

Look forward to a response!

Kind regards

Does one of the locks not work then?

If it does need a new lock then I guess the price is not too bad although does it include fitting?

[swdacosta]

All the door lock seem to work an function, which has really baffled me.

The cost does include labour though.

Just to let you know that my car spent a whole day in the garage, to have the door lock replaced. At the end of the day i phoned to find out the status, and it turns out that the door lock is not the problem after all.

The car has to go back later this week for further tests.

Any ideas or recommendations

Sid!

I dunno if it helps at all, but if I disconnect the Battery in my GS, something bleeps under the bonnet - so there's something under there with an independent power supply

Have a look at this thread (today) about a similar problem on an IS. If the alarm is mounted near the engine compartment it could be the same.
