What Are Common Lexus Car Radio Problems?

You may not realize just how much your car radio does for you until it stops working. What alleviates the boredom on a long morning drive, or make road trips more fun with friends and family? That’s right: singing along to your favorite tunes or even just having some soothing background noise to listen to.

When your car radio is not working, chances are you are facing one of the most common Lexus car radio problems. Read on to find out what they are and how you can resolve them!

Blown Fuse

Did you know that the majority of car radios are connected to a fuse that protects it from power surges? Because many components in your car will require more power than the radio, this fuse is necessary. It’s easy to check if the issue lies with a blown fuse and replace it quickly. If your car has a stereo set that’s not meant to be removed, contact our services & parts department and we will be happy to take a look at it for you.

Problems with Your Speaker

Sometimes, it may not be the case that your radio has stopped working entirely. The problem may rest with one or more of its speakers. This could be due to a wiring issue. As each individual speaker is wired into the stereo separately, you will need to check them all. Most of the time, this only impacts the affected speaker, but it can affect them all. One sure sign of a speaker issue is when your stereo is displaying normally but you are not getting any sound.

Wiring Issues

Besides your speaker, you may be experiencing wiring issues with your stereo itself. This is not common with stereos that come with your vehicle. However, if you have gotten a third-party stereo set installed, you may find yourself struggling with a wiring issue.

One of two main problems can occur: the stereo set was not meant for use in your vehicle, or it has not been installed properly. The only option is to remove the stereo set and inspect the wiring.

Dead or Disconnected Battery

The problem you are facing could be that of a dead or disconnected battery. You can easily tell when this is the case as your stereo display will be different from normal. From here, all you need to do is change your battery. It could also be the fact that your car has gone into anti-theft mode. When this mode is activated, your radio will not work until you take steps to lift the anti-theft measure.
