The driver side door won't lock/unlock with the key remote all others
work fine, it won't lock/unlock even with the manual switch inside, I
try to move it around and it feels loose like not attached to
anything, I hope my expanition is good, help please.

The door lock actuator may be bad, the wiring for the door lock actuator may
be loose or damaged, the master door lock switch may be bad, or the
connecting rod between the lock and actuator may be disconnected. In any
case, the inner door panel has to come off.

Thnaks Ray, I am guessing it may be the connecting rod, since the lock/
unlock knob moves but no sound comes from the end of the door by the
latch,like other lock/door are making, but again I could be wrong, now
is it fairly easy to take the panel off, I am pretty hands on but dont
want to cause more damage, any diagram/instruction somewhere on www.

Go to www.autozone.com and look up a 2000 Lexus RX (they didn't have a 1999
model but they are basically the same) under "vehicle repair guides" and
look up body - interior - door locks.
