“My 2013 Lexus awd rx 350 has a faulty wire harness which has shorted out its GPS navigation system, radio, and media center. I replaced the headlamp on the passengers side and the blast, but the 15 amp fuse continues to blow out. Therefore, the faulty wire harness has caused my headlights, GPS navigation system, and radio to no longer work.”
