Parasitic electrical loss bandaid
I don’t drive my car much, last ten years, 23,000 miles. So, other than keeping it on a trickle charger, I added remote battery disconnect. Works great, two fobs included. However, the airbag light is now on all the time. I disconnected the relay, and reset the airbag using the 5 second on-off bit, and it stays off. But when I reinstalled the relay, light came back on. Live with it, or a solution is out there?

Fix your parasitic loss and ditch the remote disconnect.

Every parasitic loss in my car has been related to the radio...

Yeah, probably mine too. Have an aftermarket radio and amp (located in left rear well). I'll start pulling fuses soon!

The alarm, radio, and dash clock have to constantly draw power.
