I'll pick up a voltmeter and check the voltage tomorrow.

What is the earth connection? Where is it located?

Thanks again!
He meant Ground cable. The black cable at the battery terminal. If you have a volt meter connect your wires in series from the neg cable to the negative battery terminal. If there is any voltage drain it will show on your meter. You can disconnect your fuse 1 x 1 till you no longer see any voltage reading with the voltmeter.

I'd start with the radio fuse first.
