Well, I screwed my self big time.

I think I’m just gonna leave it alone until this coming Thursday when I can get a new unit. Then we’ll see if it fixes the issue.

Only one way to find out!

So far so good. Don’t think it’s drawing too much power. It’s not cranking slow or anything.

So do y’all think the wiring under the cup holder compartment in the center consul, or the wiring under the seat, or the wiring under the trim on the sides would have anything to do with the radio? because if water touched anything it was one of those three spots.

That’s why I’m nervous to just throw a new expensive touchscreen radio on it because what if I have the same issues with the accent lighting on that one?

The draw is going to be pretty small so it won't show any affect until after maybe overnight or a day or so of not running.

I'm curious, do your other dash/cluster lights dim and brighten with the dimmer on or near the headlight switch? (I'm not all that familiar with the newer dashes, but it seems that the dimmer would also control the radio switch lights.)

Could you explain what you mean a bit more

The dimmer switch he’s talking about is explained in your owners manual.

The dimmer switch he’s talking about is explained on page 219 of your owners manual.

If you’re asking if my dimmer still works, yes. But on everything except the radio.

Another update: doesn’t seem to take any power from the battery. I compared the voltage on crank over the course of 6 hours twice, one with the radio fuse and one without. Don’t notice any major difference

Only way to know for sure is with a DVOM reading/measurement.
