dukabor Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Just logged on to this forum.........wow, Invaluable information. I have a '98 GS400 with the Nak system. I've never heard of such a problem , but here goes.... The stereo turns on and off with the lights. Called a stereo shop and they think its the head unit. Called Lexus locally and they think its a pinched wire in a door ????? Anyone else ever ru up against this ? Dukabor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyTelefunken Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Humm.... I'd check Rad No. 2 fuse. It's a 15A located in the driver's footwell fusebox. It is possible that the radio only works with the lights because when the lights are activated, power is fed to the radio via the dome fuse. The Rad No. 1 fuse, 20A, is in the passenger's side junction box, at the rear of the engine compartment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyTelefunken Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 When the radio is doing it's thing, that is not working without the lights being on, you can test the radio connector to try to find the offending circuit. The instructions are below. Advice for radio removal is in the forum. Radio_Tests.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
