Some Jeep Liberty owners report experiencing battery drain issues related to the radio and clock not turning off. These problems can stem from issues with the radio fuse, specifically fuse 34, which controls the body control module, interior lights, locks, and radio, leading to battery drain even when the vehicle is off. Additionally, owners with aftermarket radio installations may encounter improper wiring or compatibility issues that cause the radio to remain powered, further draining the battery. Some owners find that the power source to the radio does not turn off properly, contributing to the battery drain. Furthermore, malfunctioning interior lights that fail to turn off can also exacerbate the issue. To address these concerns, it is recommended to check the radio fuse, verify the installation of any aftermarket radios, inspect the power source to the radio, and ensure that interior lights are functioning correctly. If problems persist, seeking assistance from a professional mechanic or auto electrician is advisable to effectively diagnose and resolve the battery drain issue.
