Just picked up an '04 GX with ML and Nav. PO said the radio sometimes comes on....and most times doesn't. He said just leave it on and sometimes it will turn on by itself. There is no crackling or popping. Just comes on and works and sounds great and all speakers are working. Most of the time though nothing. When you turn the radio on it shows on on the Nav and when you turn off it says its off on the nav. When you turn it on and attempt to adjust any audio settings you cant move or adjust anything in the Audio screen on the nav.
Some searching points to ML amp troubles and replacement and magical fuse replacement cures. I found the Lexus TSB on stereo system trouble shooting. That was in a thread over here
I put the NAV unit in diagnostic mode and I get this:
and this:
For the NCON (no connection) the TSB says to check for continuity of TX+ and TX- from head unit to amplifier. Not sure how to do that. I found a wiring diagram from searching. I'm guessing I need to pull the head unit out or can I check the continuity on the Amp plugs?
Any advice for work I could do on my own would be helpful. Thanks.
