Electrical issues - 2010 RX450h
Hi
I have had some electrical issues, where on a hot day the radio will automatically come ON. Lately it is starting to come ON if I hit a road bump.
Secondly my Door pre-Set buttons are not working, but window switches work. The Side mirrors do not auto adjust either.
I am going to do a visual inspection of Fuses, but not sure how to look for loose wiring behind the Radio area.
Battery is fairly new and terminals are nice and tight.
Any help to diagnose is appreciated.
TIA

If you can get hold of the wiring diagram and trace all failing circuits to see if they have a common supply or ground ... that will be the fuse or body ground to check.

There is lots and lots of things available on the net.
Question remains. What do you hope to accomplish and what is the likelyhood of finding it by the exploration?

I agree that removing your radio in the blind hope that you will then find something you can actually repair is not going to lead to a solution to your electrical issues. You probably have to take it to someplace competent to do a professional diagnostic run on your vehicle.

I agree with you that a visual check may not result in a solution, but it may (and I am hoping here) just be a loose connection which is most often the case.
I was a computer tech in previous life and I cannot even count the number of times a computer would not work just because of a loose connection somewhere.
I'll continue to check and maybe find a local diagnostic place as well.
Thanks for your insights.
