Help where is the radio fuse?

[SJ80]

Am a bit stressed at the moment, and before anyone shouts RTFL I have and I cant find anywhere that tells me where the radio fuse is and I need to remove it urgently as it is draining the battery constantly, am now presently stranded at work with a million and one places to be hopefully be able to get someone to jump start me again but I want to take that fuse out to stop it doing it again overnight but I cant find it, and I have googled and searched and looked in the manual and am clearling missing something

Someone please tell me before I lose the will to live, the car is becoming more ornament than use.

TIA

There's 2
HAZ/RADIO 15A ( engine bay fusebox)
RADIO/CIG 15A (drivers footwell fusebox)
But they both supply other things, would it not be easier just to pull the plug from the back of the radio ?

I have a feeling the radio shares it's fuse with other components in the car (hazard lights for one). The fuse should be in the holder to the right of the pedals, there should be a cover on the fuse box with labels for what does what.

TBH I'd check the wiring on the stereo, I redid the wiring on Cassi's Mk1 as the clock was on permanently and draining the battery.

Is your stereo permanently on? Whoever wired it up may have taken the live feed from the ignition live.

oh noooo

It is the stock radio I believe and the car was just in for its MOT and the garage people said it was the radio never went off and that was draining the battery, and I have returned to the car a couple of times to find the radio playing away to its self (which is a tad freaky)

So I maybe just need to unwire the stereo completley

I know that sounds easy but is it really? can I plead being a dizzy female?

Yes.

undo two screws under top lip of stereo surround*, pull bottom of surround out (sort of clips in), remove the surround, undo bolts for stereo brackets (obvious, pointing straight at you either side of stereo), pull stereo, brackets and all out, unplug leads from back of stereo. Refitting is reverse of removal.

*stereo surround looks like this... note two screw holes under top lip
