Truck did not come with a radio when I bought it. So I grabbed one from the local junkyard and it worked great... BUT, I I leave the power on and the volume up it will drain the battery to the point where it will not turn over after a few days of sitting. If I have the volume down/power off the batteries last a month or more.. Not sure why. It's a factory ford stock radio which fit perfect and I used the factory harness.

I have have not been able to use my power point lately. AND can't figure out how to remove the cover of the thing.

Lastly, still looking for door trim, key/door locks, instrument cluster bezel if anyone has some they are wanting to sell, let me know.

 

You are leaving the radio on for "a few days'?

 

Yes, and no.

I'll try to be more specific. If I turn the truck off, with the volume up and without hitting the "power" button on the radio (never had to turn the power off of the radio when shutting any other car off), the batteries will be drained after a few days. Makes no sense to me. It's like the headunit is still powered and trying to draw from the batteries, despite the truck/headunit being off and no sound coming from the speakers.

 

Darn weird.

I would disconnect all power from the radio and live without it for a bit. If that cures the battery issue, well, you know where the problem is.
