    Default It's dead!!

    Fitted new stereo Thursday went to turn key this morning.....batteries dead!! What have I done wrong or is it because I was in car for about 2 hours interior light and stereo on without car running??? Hoping it's the lata as can't think what would have gone wrong on wiring....
    Car just sat yesterday not started at all.

    Cheers

    Did you remove your faceplate from the stereo? The way the aftermarkets are wired means they're always on a Permanent live...

    Need swap red an yellow wire around.

    Could be that you just drained batt from having stereo on. Or it could have been that stereo was drawing power.

    Have you got a multimeter?
