Any idea if the wiring harness could be causing a short somewhere. I just
put in a sony stero and since then I've had my battery go dead twice. Thats
the only thing i have touched electrical wise but i'm not sure whare it
could be causing the problem. I used a wiring harness adapter so i would
expect no problems but who knows...any help would be appreciated...

Thanks,

Chris Lang
