Hi All;
Not sure if this is a problem or not.
Just got my first GN, 40K miles, unmolested. I knew radio and power locks were not working. I got it home and starting checking things out, turns out a 20A fuse was blown, now everything works. I know previous owner screwed around with the radio with a pair of pliers trying to pull a cassette out (that probably popped the fuse). My question is....is the radio clock supposed to be lit all the time? even with radio power off and no key in the ignition? I let it go for a few days and now the battery is completely dead. The car sat for a long time before I bought it so although the battery looks new'ish, I think it is pooched and the radio being lit had nothing to do with the battery draining off. I know radio clock power shouldn't draw much but was surprised to see it on all the time.
Thanks in advance for any input.
