Your problem seems similar to mine just that you have only the drivers door opening. Mine will open the 2 front doors but not the back doors. I was in with Denis Mahoney off the M50,they are Toyota/Lexus dealers and I asked about the back doors not opening. They said "No never heard of a setting to change that". They wanted 100 euro an hour labour for me to leave it in to them so they could look into it. If they had said "Yes its a setting" id have paid the 100euro but I wasn't leaving it in for them to go on a fishing expedition at my expense and then charge me 3 hour labour for a 5 min job. They don't have the Lexus franchise very long so might be worth ringing another Lexus dealers and see what they say. Have you tried resetting the lock setting on the key fob. Its in the owners manual. You stand outside the car, press and hold the open door button on the key fob.(im sure its the open door button cause when I kept the closed button pressed all the windows went down) Car will beep and indicators flash. A picture on dash will come up of car with only the drivers door open. Press it again, keeping it pressed and you should see the picture come up with all 4 doors open. Try the doors and see if its worked. I have done this but still only my 2 front doors open, not the back 2. Its in the owners manual as well. Let us know how ya get on. gussie

Ill try and get into the locks and give them a good spray of wd40 or similar spray and see if it make any difference. I can hear the actuators making noise so i know theirs something happening,just not opening. The place i got it checked said this is a common problem in Audi's but hes never seen it on a Lexus

Thanks for that info PilgrimIS. The guy who checked it out said hes nearly 99% sure the back door locks need replacing,ill pick them up from a breakers cheap enough but im still not convinced. I will ring my local Lexus dealers and ask them is it an option on my car. As i said at the start i can understand the back doors not opening on the key fob but they should all open on the button on drivers door,just as a safety feature.

Hi Guy's i have a 2008 is220d and the 2 Back doors wont open/ lock with the key fob or power switch on drivers door. I have to open/lock the two back doors using the inside button on back door itself. Key fob and power button open both front doors just neither of the back doors. I had a local auto electrician check it out and he says everything seems to be working,signal going to the door lacks but for some reason locks not opening. i have tried setting the key fob up to open all doors but no joy. The guy i bought car from said it never opened them but he was told its a setting from the factory and can be reset by a Lexus dealer. I find it hard to believe from a safety issue that i cant at least open/ lock the doors from the power button on drivers door at least. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks gussie.
