99 Disco II, Radio keeps turning on...

[voyageur]

Well... this is weird. 1999 Discovery II. I drove it to the store, got out, hit the key fob lock, locked-up alarm armed. when I came out of the store the stereo was on. It was off when I left the vehicle. Drove home, repeated the same turn off lock as above and came inside. 30 minutes later I heard music. Huh? Where is that music coming from? Yep. Stereo was back on playing inside the locked up Disco. I went out and pulled the two fuses that showed the radio logo. I think it was 15 and 16 (not positive) music stopped but radio dial was still lit. I am going to go out later and see if it has come back on...

Any thoughts, diagnosis or suggestions? Please don't say "Ear plugs". My neighbor already suggested that.

Have you built your house on an indian burial ground?

I don't know...

Good question "Adrift". I feel like burying this 99 Discovery...

I may have contributed to this "Mystery" myself. a couple of weeks ago, when the AC blower fan stopped working, I found a "Work around" and wound up with a fully functioning blower. That part is great.

​

The work around involved bypassing two pins (instead of a new fuse panel at $150.00) and adding a 30 amp inline fuse. It is possible, that while I am loathe to admit it to my spouse (Her D.D.), I may have caused, or contributed to the problem. This weekend I will pull the fuse panel again and see if I introduced any stereo gremlins in my quest to fix the blower.

It may be unrelated, but I thought I should fess up...
