Six years later and still great video. Had same problem with my 2000 Lexus RX300 (driver's door window erratic). Easy instruction to follow, ordered 4 myself so I'd have spares...just finished installation and window working great...thanks a million for posting video...saved me a ton of money. Keep up the great work.

Where did you order the relays from? Do you have a link?

I want take the time to thank you for posting this video. I was able to get the part online and it worked beautifully. I got the part on EBAY for $60.00 and had a local electronics guy change out the part for 15$. 75$ grand total instead of near $1,000 for a new switch. Thank you!!

Hey I just watched the video of the lexus window trouble. I would like to find the relay switch that you used. Can you lead me to the place i can purchase them from. Thanks and it is a great video

Thank you! I previous had ZERO experience soldering and I was able to do it myself with absolute confidence after watching your video. Really appreciate it!

Gerald, I think your video instructions are the Very Best I have ever seen !!! Precise and simple. Keep up the great work and thanks, Jim in Brampton, ON, Canada

It took about 20 videos, all about resetting the auto feature, then I found yours. Thank you!

@@GyroGerald link for some new relays? Want to make sure I get the right thing.

Ok, just a quick Thank You to let you know your 3 yr old video continues to help people! This evening I was getting the RX attached to the RV for towing. It takes a while so I wanted to get it ready the night before. After everything was done I went to roll up the windows and it didn't! This was going to put a serious crimp in our winter RV vacation if the driver window didn't roll up! We'd have to leave it behind. Then I thought maybe just maybe somebody has made a video of this and found yours! I cannibalized the relay from the passenger side and was able to roll up the window on the driver side. Will order new relays later. We will head out tomorrow with the RX, thanks to your video! You literally saved the day!

Thank you for video. The dealer cost for this part in California was $660. Got a cheaper one on Amazon. Took me two days to install this part, but it works great now. I had many of the problems that others have commented and plus my other errors during the assembly. Overall, this video provides a sufficient amount of information and guidance for a 66 year old to complete this installation. Two more to go.

Great instructions! Thank you! I have the problem with both driver and passenger side windows. They go down but may not go back up. Lots of clicking the window switch before it will finally get back up. I haven't put either window down in months now until a parking valet let down my window the other day. It took about five minutes of playing with it before it got back up. Whew! Thought I was out of luck this time. I've had the assembly out before and cleaned everything and that worked for a while. I want to try your method. What is the relay part number? Your link does not open to the part to order.

Great video. By chance do you know the part number for the relay? Can't seem to find any where online to order one

saw the master switcher for sale, didn't have the cosmetic cover plate. will the cover plate i have be accepted by the new switch?

Great video! Very informative and educational. Can you advise where I can purchase the relays and the solder wick? I see that this question has been asked previously but I can't see an answer.

i have a 2000 rx300 with trouble code b1241 which is no circuit to front passenger power window/lock switch regulator,,,, and it occasionally doesnt work... i changed the entire switch unit but that didnt help, and everytime i open and close the door it makes a sound like its locking the door ,,(it doesnt lock/or unlock it but it does make that sound) the locks work fine,, could it be the actuator??? or the relay likke you changed, or did i just happen to get another bad door/window switch?

The auto-up feature on the driver door window on my 2007 LS460 works intermittently. The auto-down works great. Would a relay replacement fix this issue? Really appreciated you video, very well done!

Thank you for the tips. Solved my problem! I bought my really on Amazon for $25.

Not only do I have issues with power window that you demonstrated, I also am having issues with the door lock. Not all doors lock, the passenger front and the right passenger back seat So what do I do about fixing that issue also?

Thank you so much for this video..I did exactly what u showed here and I fixed my power windows and saved money...

Because some people don't know what heat shrink is used for. Heat-shrink tubing is a shrinkable plastic tube used to insulate wires, providing abrasion resistance and environmental protection for stranded and solid wire conductors, connections, joints and terminals in electrical work. It can also be used to repair the insulation on wires or to bundle them together, to protect wires or small parts from minor abrasion, and to create cable entry seals, offering environmental sealing protection and are approved for use by UL224-2010 ASTM D 2671. It is a versatile electrical insulator and is inert to most chemicals and solvents. Additionally, it is highly resistant to extreme heat, cold, and Ultraviolet radiation, making it an excellent material for heat-shrink tubing applications. Elastomeric tubes maintain high flexibility even at low temperatures and meet stringent international specifications. Their operating temperature range is -75 to 150 °C. The material is resistant to many chemicals (including diesel and petrol) and has good resistance to abrasion, even in severe environmental conditions. A common shrink ratio is 2:1. Polyolefin tubes, the most common kind, [7] have maximum continuous-use temperatures from -55 to 135 °C, and are used by the military, aerospace and railway industries. Because some people don't know what heat shrink is used for.

Nowrooz I suppose you are speaking of the relay available at Amazon for $28, but that relay is not original equipment. It may or may not have the same characteristics and specifications as the original. The one available on ebay uses the original spec relays and looks better in my opinion. Heat shrink as a cover has nothing to do with solder or not soldered, of course it's soldered, and then covered as it should be, not exposed to the elements prone to shorting with any conductive material that falls on its path. In this case the heat shrunk relay wins again, just saying.

It was in the same rack as the sockets that back off stripped bolt threads or rounded nuts. It's a small hands held, thin blade pry bar. If you have a putty knife I would imagine that's good enough. I did look at their catalogue from home and it didn't appear there that I saw.

Heat shrink tubing is rated for 600V AC at 250°C (480°F). Anyway how do you put a relay together with heat shrink?? LOL!! Do you even know what a relay is or how they work? The relay is an internal mechanical contact triggered by a small momentary 12Vdc voltage coming from a switch. How do you put a relay together with heat shrink? lol!!
