I am having some challenges with the electrical on my rig. It turns out I have a parasitic draw from my radio that is using significant electricity even when the radio and rig is off. The keys are also out of the ignition. Here is what is happening....
- I have a "universal" harness
- The radio is wired correctly. One wire to the battery, the other to the ignition. The wires are clearly labeled so I am certain I have this wired correctly.
- The radio DOES NOT turn on or off with the ignition (stock ignition switch). I cant figure out why.
- I have to turn the radio off manually.
- Even with everything (radio included) completely off and the key out of the ignition, I am drawing around 100 mA.
- This constant draw beat the heck out of my battery so I had to replace it.
Any suggestions on how to remedy this? I purchased a new harness that connects to the radio (Apline). I hope that will solve the parasitic draw problem but what do I do about it not turning off/on with the ignition?
Thanks for you help or any advice you may have.
