  • So with the fix one, it will get you to work and back each day with no battery drain, Fix two is more complicated but you can use the radio and CD player.

    I really appreciate you making this video. I have been having the same issue for the last year and if I don't drive the car daily, the radio will drain the battery. I ended up running a new wire from the radio to a fuse jumper and plugged it into the radio 10 amp fuse under the dash. So far, seems to have worked and i don't even need to reset the clock each time.

      @@Pappington101 Quick update: Running a new power wire did not work. No matter where it's plugged in to, the radio will be able to turn itself on somehow, even if the fuse is powered off when the car if off...hmmm...Ended up installing a toggle switch like you did. lol

    I just bought a 2003 Dodge Neon, and the radio does the same thing. It will stay on, even after the key is no longer in and the doors are shut , It drained my battery today for the first time since I had it I'm guessing because I didn't drive it for almost 2 days. I will be giving this a try. Hope it works. Thank you!

      2007 Honda Accord. It got to a point the car needed a jump every morning. Taking the fuse out and no longer have a problem at all. I have no clock radio, but the car battery is not a problem.

    Good cheap fix.
    I have similar problem with audi a4 2001 - I am doing either a switch bypassing radio fuse (putting a fuse on the switch line) or hooking relay unit with the ignition power as activator for the radio line(radio will be on its own fuse but only turning on with ignition). I am sure that one day would forget about the simple switch and have a dead battery so would do the relay option. The last option is aftermarket android upgrade for 150 euro...

  • @ColonelCampbellAI2024

    You cut main power instead of ignition signal. That's why you have to reset the clock. Cut Yellow/Red instead of Yellow/Blue. This way the dash lights still work while the radio is off or cut.

      You can keep your nice car. Find the fuse location on car or utube ( usually the fuse names *aka radio etc.* you can easily read behind it's door with flashlight, pull fuse out at home and at work. Put fuse in to hear radio, since radio uses low battery power leave it in while shopping. It's only a fuse, use small nose plyers . Hope helps.

    • @Reallseb
      @Reallseb 3 года назад +1

      It’s just a simple on/off switch from Autozone. Place a wire to positive post on the switch, other end of positive wire joins in to the main power wire of your stereo (you’ll snip the main power & combine the 3 together). Then, place a negative wire on to the negative post of the on/off switch, other end of the negative wire will go to a nearby piece of metal on the car for a good negative ground.
      Hopefully that helps.

  • @SerenoOunce
    @SerenoOunce 3 года назад +3

    All you need is a volt meter/test light. With radio unplugged, check for Ign power at the harness (key OFF, door open). Could be faulty Ign switch or fault with delayed accessory circuit (if equipped). Basic checks before you go snipping wires. Radio could be faulty but more likely the issue is elsewhere.

      So its my understanding the radio is at fault (Honda repair states, replace radio) the after market should work. When I installed the switch everything was fine so the stuff before the radio should be alright, as long as everything is equal, same issue. Thanks for watching.

    Hi.
    I replaced the OEM radio with an Android one and the issue still present (reading 0.15 mA in the multimeter). Then I removed the radio, but I saw that the car was still drainning the battery (same 0.15mA) with no radio connected at all. I removed the radio fuse and the issue was gone (0.05mA). Is something else connected to that fuse.

      No thanks. That's making your own fk up. Completely unnecessary & incorrect jerry-rigging. He did the closest thing to the correct fix except needed to splice into accessory signal instead of main power.
      You'll exceed the amperage for the fused circuit doing what you just said & there's no reason for doing it that way.
