help!! all speakers stopped working, intermittently start working
2002 LS430
My speakers have stopped working. The radio stations register on the NAV screen but when I look at changing the speaker output (balance for example), the screen just shows the blank template....the speakers just don't register.
At times, they begin working again. This can happen when I start the car or it could be in the middle of a drive. It does not seem to be affected by the temperature....I've started the car in below zero weather before and the radio has come on. I've also gone days at a time in warmer temps without a radio. When the speakers work, they do register on the NAV screen.
Anyone have any ideas of what I'm up against and costs associated with it?
Thanks in advance.

Could be your Amp starting to go. I tend to have this same issue but, only when it's really cold out (under 10F) but, it's very random, after leting the car warm up (drive for about 5-10 min), I shut the car off and restart it and it works fine most of the time.
Not sure on the costs but, You could check ebay for a replacement amp depending if you have the ML system or not.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure if there was any replacements...I bought this about a year and a half ago and was the 2nd owner. I will check into the amp cost and see what I find out.
Any other input would be great as well.
Thx!

Has anyone dissected one of these stupidly priced amps to see which components usually fail? It has to be a capacitor or resistor that can be easily replaced with a cheap part and a little solder...
