russianfrog Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hi everyone, I have a strange problem with my radio/CD player on my Defender 110 Puma 2007: Not only it doesn't work properly, like it doesn't want to load the CD or tune the radio, but now it turns on by itself! It is frustrating not to be able to listen to radio or CD, but the "back to life" thing (even when the car is idle, keys off, alarm on) is actually troubling me most: I am afraid it might drain the battery at night, and simply attract attention in the street. Any suggestion how to swift off the beast? Maybe a fuse or relay to unplug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I would say a bad earth somewhere? Is the cd radio wiring a factory fit set up or has it been re-wired by you or someone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutley Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Switch radio on...go to the fuse box, on the cover it should show which fuse is for the radio, if not remove fuses and replace untill radio stops! This is the fuse to leave out! Untill you have time and a plan to resolve the issue, when you will need to put the fuse back in to know if your plan, idea to resolve the issue works.

It's the one that fuses the radio :o), sorry buddy I don't know, it might say on the fuse box cover or in your hand book, if not ask google, don't go randomly pulling out fuses unless you really have to as a last resort.
