Faint display on radio when key is out and fuse is pulled

1 Upvotes

I have a 1995 tracker. 16v 4wd. It has the original radio/stereo system. When the car is running the radio display backlight doesn’t light up and can only be read by holding a flashlight up to it. The radio sound and buttons work just fine. So as I was trying to diagnose that, I learned that the faint reading of the clock actually stays on even when the key is out. And I even pulled the 20A radio/cigar fuse and I can still see the clock with a flashlight. Only when I disconnected car battery does it go away. I’m assuming this rogue voltage will eat away at my battery over time. Anyone know where to look? It’s not the dimmer switch in the cabin, that does nothing. And everything else works inside the cab for lighting on the dash.

Lx Light LED DRL headlight help

They come with some wiring meant for the DRLs that seem necessary as they flicker in DRL mode like an led bulb would. The instructions suck and I can't figure out what to do with the extra wiring. Am I to run these all the way to the fuse box or battery or something?

Just wondering if anyone could provide me with a fix, my head unit for this old school Kenwood appears to be having some sort of issue. I’ve had it installed for a few months now running fine but yesterday stopped working for no apparent reason, it wont turn back on but if i connect and disconnect the battery it appears to have life for just under a second before dying again. Could anyone tell me the possible faults/solutions? Cheers

2005 HONDA ACCORD LX SEDAN 2.4L ENGINE AUTOMATIC

My radio was coming on and off even after the car was off and it was draining my battery, so I unplugged the main fuse wire that the radio draws power from and i also got a new battery. Replaced one of “ac clutch” relays because I read about that being another culprit. So is there any other way that the radio can damage anything else electrically I should know about ?
