Im sick of my bloody fiesta, problem after problem,



Now wheni knock the engine off the radio light comes on, the radio will not knock on when the engine is on as soon as tyhe engine is off the lcd light comes up, im worried that this will run my battery down overnight help



Sounds like there's no ground connection to the radio (or the wire's broken etc) and current from the 12v permanent is finding its way to ground (via the backlight) through the switched 12v connection (which effectively becomes 0v when the ignition's off.)
