A parts guy at Lexus Dealerships, clued me years ago to issue with stuck IG tumblers pins. Which happens, a little to often to me. By inserting one of my other LX keys, in wrong LX IG switch. This tends, to cause tumblers pins to get stuck. Which dirt from keys over time, may also do.
Cure: With proper LX key in. Take a screw diver and tap with its plastic handle, on back of key while in IG SW briskly. Don't break the keys case. Best is, If you've a non FOB key, use it. Their case is stronger. This tapping, vibrates pins in tumbler, which then fall back into place. I've found, spraying a lube into tumbler first, is helpful.
The LX FOB, opens all windows and sunroof. If open button held down.
BTW: I've not tried this. But we may be able to activate windows and sun roof through tech stream, with IG key off.
