Question about door sound
Whenever I first turn off my car and open the door, there is a short mechanical sound that comes from behind the left side of the dash. I can only describe it as some kind of actuator noise or a small motor moving. It only lasts maybe 2 seconds. It’s not the window moving down. I have also heard it on my buddies IS350.
Any ideas what it is?

Yeah, I get that too. I assume it is the on board computer shutting down.
And just to get the reference in there before anyone else... I'll bet Miata doors don't make this silly sound.

I assumed he was referring to the low pitched whine it makes when you shut the car off.

yep, steering wheel lock. Thats a pretty awesome feature to have, especially if you live in areas where auto theft is common.

I believe if you watch the Start button you'll see it change to Lock.
