Hey guys i have an issue, the po had hacked up the wiring for the stock radio and put in a aftermarket system with an amp running straight to the battery i removed the amp and had the stock radio wired back in but noticed that the speakers would stay on even when the car was off then eventually started draining the battery overnight, ran a draw test and the radio is drawing to high a current even when off what should i look for?

Well the speakers must be wired to a "always hot" wire somewhere, You need to look up the wiring diagram for the stock radio and see if it's all wired correctly.

But I disconnected the speakers and the draw was still there it wasnt until the disconnected the radio that the draw left

But the radio doesnt turn on when the key is off, it will light the screen for a couple seconds then fade out

Like i said, you need to look at the stock wiring diagram for the radio. I have the wiring diagram at home, I can try and scan it and make a copy later this afternoon, unless some one else can.

If the radio isnt turning on without the key turned to the accessory position sounds like the radio is bad and the power supply or a cap is drawing to many amps when the car is off.

So the radio should turn on without the key in the on position

LOL, no the radio has a wire hooked to the ignition switch circuit so the radio will only have power in the start or accessory position. all radios wire up the same this schematic is from 92 so im not sure if there is any wire color change but as you can see in this picture the wire is brown.

You mean run or accessory.

The accessory wire is yellow, not brown.

Does the yellow accesory wire apply to all third gens?
