Cavalier
In March of this year we had the windshield wiper motor replaced in our 2003 Cavalier. Soon after we noticed that the radio would stay on when the car was off. We have to take the fuse out to turn the radio on and off. Also, we had a new battery put in around May. The battery drains a lot. We took the battery back a couple of weeks ago and it had drained twice already! What could the problem be? I don't have a lot of money to fix things and don't want to spend what I do have on problems that don't really exist (if you know what I mean). Can anyone help?! Thanks!
