I have a 2003 Honda Accord
When driving the radio sometimes shuts off and then comes on after a few minutes. It also keeps on playing even thought the car is parkes without the ignition key . twice it had drained the battry .I had to jump start the car. Can yoy tell me how I can resolve the problem?
Should be covered under a recall. But they are very strict about the exact problem and I got swindled out of 500 bucks. The radio should be replaced as it will turn itself on and off - even the volume! Bit disconnect radio means you disconnect the panel, too.
I'm thinking you might have a problem with wiring - either a bad connection, or worn/cracked insulation that is causing an intermittent short-circuit. I'd recommend a thorough electrical check of your radio wiring harness.
Final solution was installing an aftermarket Sony player and unplugging the wire to the OEM radio. The only problem was this also disconnected power to the lights on the panel. This is a recall that Honda has never been appropriately charged with not enforcing and has cost consumers millions overall, in my view.

I have same problem a little more advanced. My Accord has 220000 miles and the radio doesn't come right back. I turn off radio when I leave car to prevent battery drain.The radio emmits a loud screaching sound that sometimes takes a while before I can get radio to play. I have had success in getting radio to play by punching the on/off volume control
