Default 2004 GX - radio Issues








I had the 30 amp radio no.2 fuse blow, leaving the radio and Nav dead. Then I found the battery was weak so I trickle charged it for 3. Hours to full strength then replaced the fuse. Nav back on & radio as well but no sound.

See diagnostic mode screen shots below, can I get your thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Check the amp for power and ground... not sure but I’d think the amp would have its own fuse.

So to finish this thread out - I confirmed that we had proper power and ground to the amplifier unit. So I went shopping on car-parts.com to check them out from totaled vehicles, but the prices were high and the units looked too beat up and rusted. So I sent mine to radiosandmore.com for a $475 rebuild of the unit . You can find them on Ebay, pay the fee and ship it to them on your dime and they will recondition it and send back. Just plug back in and you have music again. Very fast turn around and it comes with a 1 year warranty. Hope this helps.
