Electric gremlins revisited



Has any body had experience with blaupunkt stereos?? I have isolated the 
drain on the cars battery, it stops draining when I have the "radio" fuse 
pulled. Now I have re-wired the stereo once, and it still drains. blk- to 
gnd, red- to ign, and yel- to batt, as the installation instructions 
describe, and still it drains??? Now the radio has a strange feature, it can 
be turned on with the car off and no key in the ign, this feature has a 1 
hour auto-off stated in the manual and no apparent means to disable the 
function (using a hammer is tempting). If I flip the wiring ( red to yel, 
yel to red)the result is normal function but no radio memory for presets or 
clock, while annoying it does solves the problem for me, however the 
girlfriend likes presets and a clock soooooo. Anybody have any advice on how 
to get my memory and no drain??
