All of my electrical stuff works without a key in the ignition. My radio, windshield wipers, etc. Anyways, it's causing something to run non-stop and it's draining my battery everyday. Anyone else ever had this problem??

how long have you had the problem? did it just appear? or was it like this when you purchased it?

now that i think about it, i think it started shortly after i got my new cd player put in. Maybe they f'd up, but would that mess with my entire electric system, i.e. windshield wipers?? sorry, but i'm ignorant when it comes to electrical stuff

It depends on how they installed it. If it was done by a shop take the car to them and tell them that it started happening write after they changed the sterio and they'll fix it for you. If not you should take that sterio out and see what's going on back there. Other wize you just might need an new ignition switch.

it is possible that a botched stereo install can cause these problems i have seen it happen before
