The reason why the radio in your Lexus RX350 isn't working is likely because the fuse is faulty. To access the fuse box, check on the left side of the steering wheel for a small seam or crack on the dashboard. You can use a screwdriver or prybar to open this panel. Inside the panel, you'll find a number of fuses. Look on the back of the panel for a diagram that shows what each fuse is for. If you can't find it there, you can refer to the owner's manual for the vehicle. Once you identify the fuse you need, simply remove it. Check if the thin metal strip connecting the two sections of the fuse is intact. If it's broken, the fuse is bad and should be replaced. If the metal strip is intact, the fuse is still good and can be reinstalled. Replacement fuses are inexpensive, costing about $10.
If your Lexus RX350 radio is malfunctioning, it is recommended to inspect the primary fuse that connects to the radio for any issues.
Hey man, I get that you might not be used to paying much for fuses, but $10.00 is actually a good deal! That price is just way too high. Also, the way you explained how to get to the fuse box seems like you haven't even seen the fuse box in this car. It's a bad description and doesn't help much.
I've inspected the fuse boxes and found no blown fuses, my radio remains non-functional. I tried buying a new radio from Best Buy, but unfortunately, none of the options were compatible.
