Thanks guys.....yep I admit it. This battery drain is driving me nuts!! Buying a car with 158k miles on it I guess I should expect it has been fiddled and tinkered on by one too many DIYers....including me.
Previous owner replaced the radio with a cheap modern job. He did a half ass install too.....only hooked up the back two speakers and no radio antenna. I assume he did this for a couple of reasons. I can charge my phone from the radio usb port and its a bluetooth radio for hands free calling and or phone to radio music.
I will probably remove it and improve on the install. I will have to see if the new radio has an LED flasher or not. One thing for certain is that my OEM radio was monitored by the alarm system.......Im just wondering if the alarm system is running down my battery hunting for the signal for my radio? How do I tell the car its cool....and to relax?
12.4 on your batt huh........makes me feel a little better....misery loves company.
