I had a new battery installed in my van. every time i need to start my vehicle i have to jump start it. i think my radio is draining my battery when my vehicle is shut off. I can't figure out which fuse to pull to shut off power to the radio when my vehicle is shut off.

It sounds like the BCM is going out, but the fuse is located under the hood on the left side labeled "radio" here is the location of the BCM and how to change it out in case you want to fix the problem, you can get a preprogrammed unit by searching Google or Ebay. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
