    I would suggest run your own constant 12V to the battery (Dont forget a fuse)
    Sounds like you've accidently tapped into something you shouldn't have...

    hey man i would earth to the body much better connection. also you may have picked up a false earth in the loom, meaning when you test for earth its there because the swicth is inactive as soon as switch becomes active the wire is no longer an earth .

    hope that makes sense!

    As long as its earthed anywhere on the chassis your fine, i wouldn't use a blade fuse. Best bet would be to go to autobarn and explain your issue. they will have the right fuses for you.

    Firstly, earth the stereo out to metal...theres plenty of it behind the centre console so that part is easy.

    Secondly, test the unit after you've earthed it out properly......if it goes away it was a earth problem. If it dosent its a constant power problem.
