Battery drain...what's drawing?

[Vandal86]

Has anyone experienced a low battery (won't start) when the vehicle sits for over 24 hrs? It's happened a few times, once I get it started (jump) it runs fine until the next time... I took it into the dealer and they traced it to an aftermarket amplifier installation. *I'm the 2nd owner, purchased at 6k miles. Anyway, looks like I need to UNINSTALL this amp...I attempted to disconnect the amp from the battery, it's a bigger job than that since doing this lost all audio. They obviously wired it through the factory Uconnect system. What are my next steps? I don't really need to take it to an audio shop to fix this problem - I can do it with a little direction. THANKS!

Who ever installed the aftermarket amp probably did not wire the "Remote Turn On" wire correctly. Reconnect the Amp and check the Blue Wires, there are two of them.
