I have a 2014 Dodge Ram Big Horn 5.7 Hemi. Recently the radio quit working. I checked and replaced the fuse but the radio still is not operating. It “ blinks” every couple of minutes, which I don’t understand. My big problem is that ever since the radio quit working, if the truck sits for two or three days, which it does, the battery goes completely dead.

It’s a new battery, the battery has been check and so has the charging system. Everything is fine, however the battery still goes dead. Does the radio problem have a cause problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!!

The radio could definitely be drawing power even though it isn't playing anything through the speakers. If it's dead take it out.
