I have a 1995 Lexus SC400, which i bought used almost a year ago. As was said earlier this is not an uncommon problem for SCs from what I hear. This happened to my car some time ago, and I have still yet to fix it. What happens is the hose that takes the leakage from your gas cap area gets disconnected and that hose is right over the amp and CD changer; so if the hose gets disconnected every time you get your car washed, it rains, or you spill a little gas, it's basically spraying it all over your amp and CD changer. If your speakers went out for a little, then started working again, get this fixed or you amp will be fried permanently. My speakers went out and came back several times and I though it was just loose wiring, but they have been out for 4 months now. I took this problem to my local Lexus dealer and they told me it was common and that they could replace the amp and rewire, etc. but surprised me with a estimate of $1,200!!! I have since been to every Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. that I could find and none of them know what to do or just dont want to mess with it. So if anyone has a do-it-yourself solution or knows an easier way to get this fixed than shelling out over a grand for a new amp and some wiring please let me know. Thank you.

I'm a new member here and i bought my '95 SC400 about 2 months ago. However, the previous owner lost the manual. Is there anyplace where i can download a pdf (or other format) version, or must i purchase it from lexus?
