Hello guys I finally got around to installing my 06 pathfinder radio this weekend. And like everyone says to do, I jumped the K and D wires together. However after doing this its like my battery gets drained. At first I thought it was the battery so I changed it and used another battery from my other car. And this morning when I went to crank up my car my battery was dead again. Has anyone else had this problem after doing this install? Thanks in advance!

 

Have you done a parasitic drain test yet?

What are the wire colors you spliced together? Are you sure you didn't connect the constant B+ wire to the amp turn on, instead of a switched B+?

 

If your looking into the back of the radio, I connected the top right of the right plug to the top left with the left plug using a piece of wire. The wire colors were blue and green/white. Any ideas?

 

You should fill out your profile, had to search through 2 or 3 pages of your threads just to find out you have a '99. Only takes a few seconds to fill out, and it helps others help you.

Looks like that's wired properly.

Again, parasitic drain test?

 

Ok I will. I wonder if a 99 SE-Limited would be wired any differently? How do I do a parasitic drain test?

 

Extremely unlikely.

I guess whats weird is that all this started after I installed the radio.

 

Ok I figured it out. It turns out that my battery terminals were so corroded that I wasnt getting a good connection with my battery. I think im going to get an optima dry cell battery so that I dont have to worry about corrosion anymore

 

Kind of strange that you did not notice the corrosion, when you swapped out the battery from your other car

 

why spend 150$ on a optima yellow top, when you can just spend 2.50$ on a box of baking soda mix it with water and dump it on the terminals, and clean em.

 

Or even cheaper, $1 for a can of coke, clean and refreshing.
