LC5F:
Heres a guide to check if your radio is draining:


If it is draining - you can change how it its powered with a jumper in the engine bay fuse box - the only problem is the startup wont be as quick:

might sound silly, but i dont have a multi meter  :stupid:..    can i do the same check with a 12v tester?   so stereo off and check for a live on both pins of that fuse?

LC5F:
unsure what a 12v tester is??
if it shows how many volts are flowing between terminals - then yes.

blingsta:
I mean a 12v light tester..   the light comes on if there is a live

LC5F:
If the head is draining the battery it is a very low voltage - you can try, but suspect its too low to illuminate a bulb.
