bad radio drains battery? remove fuse?
2005 Accord. Radio is haywire. Keep having to jumpstart car because I think the radio is draining the battery. With the car off, you can hear the radio trying to eject a cd that isn't there... I think if I can remove the fuse (assuming there is one) I can prevent the battery from being drained until I can replace the radio. But...the previous owner decided not to include the cover to the fuse box that shows what fuse is for what device..
Will removing the fuse for the radio solve the battery draining problem?
Can someone take a pic of their fuse compartment cover and post for me?
Many thanks,
Thomis

Don't know if it will save the battery - but we'll find out.
As I see it, the radio fuse - hope you have the code to reset the radio! Is number 5, under dash drivers side panel. Bottom row, left to right.
I'm pretty sure there is a self test you can preform on the radio.

I read of similar issue on Acura MDX recently. Here's the link.
