I was installing a new radio in my 2003 5sp Baja. Got the kit from Crutchfields. Went to test the new radio and it did not come on. Checked all the wiring, it was correct but still no power at radio. Plugged the old radio back in and it too was "dead". Checked all fuses, all good. One strange thing is when I take the key out of the ignition the instruments for odometer and clock stay lit. I am pretty sure they didn't used to stay lit after I turned the ignition to lock. Everything except the radio seems to work. I started the engine and all looks good. I disconnected the batttery for a minute hoping for some kind of reset but still the same thng. I'm stumped! Has anyone had this problem? Any idea what the fix is?
