The mechanic removed my radio fuse to stop it from draining the battery. Note the radio works fine.

The stereo shop told me it is a sign the radio is kaput and can not be fixed. I am skeptical.

I am preparing to sell my car and all i want is for the radio to work and not drain the battery. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

 

Pretty Cool sight punch your car and wala just get a replacement for it i think i saw one for `128 bucks on there.
I just Inherited a 2005 crossfire Convertible from my father and the Alternator Literally went up in Smoke at a red light 366 Bucks at Napa ouch But Dad had a Kenwood
in the garage brand new in the box , Wondered why he had that it, I had the same Problem draining the battery i guess ill be installing that after the Alternator shows up and installed .

Do you know what number fuse it is? If it's number 9, that is most likely the alarm siren. You can just remove that. I have a post about that if you need help.

If it is the radio, then RJNeal is correct, your best solution is to replace it with the Kenwood. I asked about refurbishing my original, there's a Becker repair place 10 miles from me. They told me around $300 to refurbish $350 - $400.00 if I wanted to add blue tooth.
You can ask Crutchfield to make you an adapter so that there is no splicing (plug & play). Mine was $24.00 extra, but well worth it.
Here's what mine looks like. (The pictures are from a post I did when I installed mine).

 

These factory radios are available, I've got three. Each of mine has a problem, the one that works 100% is worn looking. But, I have one that looks great, but has a backlight issue. The other, the buttons across the top don't work.

None of mine drain the battery, and are not currently for sale.
