2004 RX330 Radio On in Park & Off in Gear
I have a very unique situation not in-line with any other radio issue post I have read. To prevent misaligned responses, please understand it is obvious that this has nothing to do with loose wires in the back of the radio or the amp etc, loosened components inside the radio or the amp etc because the radio works 100% fine when the gear shift is in park and also when it decides to come on after several minutes of driving and when driving after the radio decides to come on (not always comes on) and going over bumps or on dirt roads it will work perfect! It stays on when stopping, stays on when going from Drive to Park, but turns off again when going from Park to Drive. In fact, while in Park, all a person needs to do is just slightly start to slide the shifter over to the right as though you are about to channel it down into Drive then the radio blinks off but will immediately come back on again if you let go of the shifter and it springs back all the way to the left resting position in Park. If you wiggle the shifter back and forth from left to right the radio will go off when to the right and come on when fully to the left. I have tried the entire fuse, battery disconnection, ECU reset things etc. An ex-Lexus worker even mention a battery going bad can have this affect, however the battery has been tested (Twice) and both sources said the battery is 100% fine. Nothing is working! Wow…does anyone out there have any new ideas? Thank you kindly ahead of time!
