Tony.SS. Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 After i got my SS i installed my Avic-d3. used the GMOS-04 since i have the onstar and upgraded stock system. after a few days of messing around i finally got it installed. But i woke up a few times to a dead batt. After taking it to a couple shops my friend finally unhooked the batt and used a amp meter to see if there was a draw when the truck was off. there was a .79 amp draw. So we started pulling fuses to see where it was coming form. low and behold it was the stereo. So i took it out and installed my stocker for the time being. Why would my Avic be drawing that much??? any help?? thanks in advance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fast4popper Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I am just running the stock SS speakers and sub. the AVIC-D3 and the GMOS-04 adapter. my gues is the relay on the adaptor is stuck on. go to where you got the adaptor and have them swap it for a new one.

SSplaytoy Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 How would i know what relay to get? I think it should just be an accessory relay. Just check the amps on it and you should be able to pick one up at the autoparts store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8 UR HMI Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 a lot of part stores and electronics stores carry them. my relay went out on mine but i knew that it was staying on so i just swapped it. i picked mine up from another shop in town but i think u can get them basically anywhere. it MAY take no more than an hour if ur not the best with audio.

Tony.SS. Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 i am pretty good with wiring and things like that. Never really replaced parts like this tho. I would need to find some instrution on this before i did it. Anyone know where i can find that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
