Hey guys , my radio iss on but no sound, the fuse in the engine bay is blown(20Amp fuse) and continues to blow immediately after i replace it everytime ....i tried a 30 blew that too ..any ideas? No music+tein ss rattle =Annoying

 

Disconnect your negative battery terminal, and then replace the fuse.

 

thanks ill try that ...

 

Oh and btw, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, replace the fuse with a higher one! If it's 20, replace it with a 20. The higher fuse will not be stable.

 

good to know thanks lol

 

could it be that my factory amp blew becuase everytime i replace the fuse even with the car off and battery disconnected the fuse pops the minute it gets power ...i checked the fuse in the kick panel inside the car and its fine ....PLEASE HELP !!!! i dont want to spend 90 bucks to have the dealer just look at it

 

Help please the dealer wants 150 just to look at it and they might have my car all day he said and there going to "test" everything, to me that means there going to rip me off even if they find the problem in 5 minutes the lexus dealer in my area is gotta be the shadiest place to get any type of service ....i mean shyt there service reps are practically sales men

 

SomeBody please help !!!!!...can i just replace the stock amp with an aftermarket i have rockford multi channel laying around but i guess ill need to take power directly from battery since the fuse keeps fkn up lol

 

How do you know that the problem is in the amp? Do you have a friend with a similar GS300 that you can switch amps with? I had no sound from one channel in my 00 LS400 earlier this year and when I switched amps, I found that problem was really in the head unit -- a blown balance control which turned out to be cheap to have fixed.

You might try turning off the radio, disconnecting the negative battery cable and replacing the fuse one more time. It took a couple of tries in a friend's 99 LS to keep the engine compartment radio fuse from blowing. Oddly, when the fuse held and didn't blow again, we thought we smelled something burning in the passenger compartment. The smell went away though and the radio and CD changer kept working.

 

yea i went through a pack and a half of fuses ... i guess its more of a wiring issue than a component failer ? ima check for piched wires the fuse is popping for a reason but where is the problem ? this could take hours to figure out ima drop it off at a alarm shop or the stealer i dont have time for this lol alarm shop diagnose = 90 bucks Stealer = 150 just to start lol
