About a week ago my car died while driving it. Which instantly led me to believe "Alternator!". Finds out that it was bad. So I bought a new one. Problem solved... until It wouldn't start when i go out of work a few days later.
My radio used to shut off when I opened my door and my key was out of the ignition. This is no longer the case. I checked the connections in the harness and nothing with the radio has been changed at all. The power to the radio is from the harness and not using a fuse triggered by the ignition. This is the way it's been working since I installed it 6 months ago.
By turning off the radio when I get out of the car the problem is "hidden" but I havent let my car sit longer than a day yet. I would like to see if anyone else has had this issue and has a fix for it.
No codes are being thrown indicating anything wrong. I checked the battery connection. And I also checked to see if any dome lights or any lights are effected but they are not. The other power to the car seems to be normal. When I open the door with the key in the windows still wont work which is normal.
I have yet to check my amp ground that's in my trunk. Could a bad amp ground cause this to happen? I didn't bother to check it because my amp still pounds as hard as usual, which wouldn't happen if the ground was bad/questionable.
Another question i have is: Without a key in the ignition does this model of car shows the time and engine mileage? Because mine does and I cant remember if this is normal or not.
Thanks for your help everyone.
