Stereo always on
« on: 07 August 2012, 23:29 »
Hi,

So on the car i recently purchased the stereo only turns on from the button on the face and not the ignition. This has already resulted in the battery going flat once after i left it on all night  :embarassed:

Trying to think back to my days when i was interested in stereos what do i need to do - is it something like swapping a yellow and red wire?

Thanks
Adam
