I patched up the hinge wires again last night, but it did not fix the problem. I also looked at both fuses responsible for the stereo circut, but they appear to be fine. Anyone else have any ideas as to what it could be? It hasn't worked at all lately (I think the problem may be related to the fact that we have had a steady 2.5 weeks of rain, and something may be damp??)

Thanks, I will try this. I know this has been looked at before and I have taped up some of the wires in the hinge, but maybe I did not do a good enough job? Does anyone know what color the wiring for the stereo is?

I'm wondering if someone else has had a similar experience to this, or have any light they could shed on it. I have a 93 Lexus LS400, with the Nakamichi sound system, without the phone. Everything works great in her, until I need to slam on the brakes quite hard - then the sound system stops working. It usually happens right after I slam the brakes on, but sometimes for 10-15 minutes after the fact. The volume on the sound system goes to ALMOST mute, if I turn to max volume I can faintly here the music. This goes for both the CD and radio. Within a few hours, the sound system comes back and preforms as it should. "Normal" braking is fine, its only when I apply quite a bit of pressure to them that this happens. I have no idea why the brakes would have such a dire effect on a seemingly unrelated system? It would appear to me like there is a short circuit somewhere, but why would it only short out when I slam the brakes? And why would it come back randomly after a few hours? Any ideas? Cheers Josh

Could you take a few pictures and post them, when you replace the emblems?

So for those two, it is a combination of prongs and sticky tape? Do the prongs just stick in, and stay in from friction? Thanks for your assistance by the way, I'm reluctant to take mine off until I'm sure I can put a new set back on :)

All the ones on Ebay talk about sticking them back ont the car, is it a combination of prongs & sticky tape?

Has anyone done this? My emblems, once gold, are getting tarnished and I'd like to replace them with some new shiny ones. I don't know exactly how to go about doing it though, how are they attached to the body of the car? It looks like they're screwed on, or something, as there are rods behind the emblem - yet everywhere I look, it says they're just stuck on with tape? Any ideas / comments? '93 LS BTW, if that makes a difference?
