I have a car that is seldom driven, it is a 99 yaris. I receently replaced the battery as it would not hold a charge. that was fine and the car worked as it should. however, i noticed a few days ago that it was now flat again. I have noticed that the illumination around the casette player does not turn off, even when the car is off.
i assume this is the cause. Would this be a fuse issue or wiring problem?

any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks.

AFAIR radio runs on DOME fuse, as well as interior light and some other minor things. Pull the fuse off for a couple of days and compare the difference.

Id say it's a fault in the radio itself.
