It sounds like you have a constant 12V power supply wired to the radio instead of a switched 12V. If you've recently installed a new radio, check your wires again. There should be a 12V constant and a 12V switched. The switched 12V will turn the radio off, while the constant 12V is for keeping the clock and radio memory working.

My car is draining battery even with ignition and light off

That means that you have a parasitic drain, that can be caused by a short or by a defective device.

First try to understand if there is a parasitic drain.

Once you exclude the drain, replace the battery, a battery with shorted cells can cause the drain.

To measure drainage remove ignition key, connect the amp meter between the battery positive wire connector and positive terminal.A couple of milliamps drainage is normal, and is caused by instruments, car stereo memory, ECU etc.
Start removing more fuses , and open the wiring at different points , trying to locate the problem.
Remove the fuses and see if you have drain by connecting a meter to read amps on battery, if you have drain with no fuse, then the problem is insulated to wiring harness before the fuse, with something shorted between the battery and the fuseblock.
Also check car stereo and car amp HU, the HU can keep a unit on when the ignition key is off, causing drainage.

Have 1998 rava 4 radio stays on with key removed can only turn off with button clock stays lit all the time also pulling fuse turns both off

Could be that the ignition switch is not turning off the trunk line that feeds the radio,etc. Needs replacement.

On light stays on

try removing the fuse for the dash illumination as there are different circuits to the dash , if light goes out then remove the dash and check the circuitry for any signs of corrosion,rust etc bearing in mind this is a soldered pcb , if light stays on it is from the side lights/main light circuit which i would start by making sure the light switch is turning off completely for this you will need a voltmeter or 12volt test light good luck and keep me updated if you wish

All acc power stays on and starter wont stop turning over when battery is connected in my 1997 chevy blazer

I would take a look at the wires down at the starter. He may have the large positive wire shorting to the smaller, trigger, wire. This could potentially cause a back-feed through the whole system.

Full Power Loss

I would take a different but not real easy approach---I would reverse the process and remove the new stereo unit and have all wires connected if possible back to the original radio---you may have a ground wire hooked to wrong place etc.

If this happened as a result of replacing the radio back track to see what you have--in over 30 years of repairing electronic equipment whenever a new issue appears instantly after doing something---back up and undo what you did.

Just a suggestion.

2003 Prius sometimes will not start, engine light comes on. Removing key from ignition, reinserting key, & turning wheel till it locks will then allow the car to start. Engine light stays on for a

I had a wire connector on the front of the engine that had so much tension, the wires broke. I didn't notice until a wet day when the car wouldn't start (and the Check Engine light was on). (The error code was related to an Emissions error.) The connector is located on the engine, front, just left of center. Hope this helps!
