The remote wire is not hooked up. It should be a small blue wire, just take the radio out and hook thise remote wire up and then the radio should turn off when the car is turned off.
This is normal for Navigator, the radio will play, and the windows will run up and down for up to 5 minutes after the ignition is turned off. Just open the drivers door to over ride it. They do that so if you listening to a radio program you can hear the end without having the car running. Most newer Lincolns do this.
You need to turn off the radio and then turn it back on while holding down the clock button from there use the up and down buttons to change hour then press clock again and use the up and down buttons to change the minutes then turn off the radio. When you turn the radio on again the clock should be working
Turn the ignition key to the accessory position which is normally counterclockwise. Only the radio will be drawing power. If you have a good battery you could listen for a couple of hours without running the battery down. Any longer and the battery may go dead. Make sure that the headlights are off; these may still remain on when the key is in the accessory position. Headlights will drain the battery very quickly. It may also be advisable to run the engine for a few minutes every half-hour or so, to recharge the battery.

The most likely reasons are the volume is turned down or the radio is not tuned to a station.
How can the use of waveguides running from the antenna down the radio tower to the radio equipment be avoided? give two solutions to this problem
Disconnect the negative cable.
There is a tab in the ashtray that has to be held down with a long flathead screwdriver. This tab holds the ashtray in so the tab has to be forced down with a lever to get the ashtray out. Then disconnect the cigarette lighter and you will see the screws that hold the radio in place.
I have a 1995 Ford Explorer , and with the engine running a mechanic disconnected both battery cables and it kept running - I was surprised!
The gears inside are stripped just disconnect the electrical plug on the side of the unit and leave it up.
i have the same issue. the radio is bad and is shorting out. it is running my battery down every 3 days.
No. A car radio uses so little power that it is completely impossible for it to even run down your battery a little bit. Using the air-con however, will wear out the battery and increase your fuel consumption.I beg to differ with the above answer. Of course a radio will run down your battery if it is left on. Now if you are referring to the clock on the radio, then that uses very little power and it will take a long time for it to run the battery down. If your battery is running down overnight and the radio is not on playing music, look for some light somewhere that is on. Trunk, under-hood, curtorsey, glove box, dome, etc. It can also be a relay that is stuck. Lastly the battery itself can have a dead cell which will run the battery down overnight. To find out disconnect the negative battery cable overnight. If the battery is dead in the morning, replace it as it has a dead cell.
Drop steering wheel to lowest setting. Put gear shift in 1st gear. Pull radio surround bezel out from dash. There are just spring clips holding in place so don't be afraid to pull. With bezel pulled out slightly, disconnect any wiring connecting switches mounted in bezel. The bezel can now be completely removed. Radio is easily removed by pushing down on the small tabs on both sides of the radio. You can feel a slight 'click' when they are depressed far enough to remove the radio. Disconnect wiring harness and it's out!
disconnect battery ,but before doing so write down any codes required eg radio code etc
It's pretty easy, but then again my dad told me how. Remove the ashtray from it's holder, you will then see a bolt that is holding the radio down. Remove the bolt and pull the radio out through the front, then disconnect the wires.
Running Down the Road was created in 1969.
You stop running by slowly slowing down the rate of your running. Or basically, you slow down until you stop.
