Thats how my focus is but the radio will turn off after like 5 or 10 mins of being on with the key out.


@ OP.. Kinda a stupid question but are you sure the clock doesn't stay on normally? I ask because the clock being on shouldn't kill your battery unless you left it sitting for a couple weeks I would think.

Edit- For your 2nd question... That isn't good. Sounds like a short or something and yes it may be in your fuse box. Electrical problems that happen here and there are hard to track down like others have said. Only real way is to follow all the connections manually and insure there are no cuts, etc.


Nope. But a brand new battery in it. Left it over night. Died.
I mean all I do is turn the radio off and it changes to the clock on the screen. If I would just leave the sound on the car would stay on tell it dies. That's how I know it's not normal.

I'm taking it in tomorrow. I hope it not something serious.

It's the last thing I need right now.


Having one of the worst weeks of my whole entire life.

I suggest you get a hold of a good factory service manual for your car and go through the electrical schematics.
There's no easy answer that we can give you. You have to do some hands on research.

Sounds like you have an electrical problem to me, you should get that fixed.
