Ok, so here's the scoop. My 2008 Tacoma has the stock radio in it and can be turned on even with the key out of the ignition, and the clock stays on even after the truck has been shut off and the doors have been opened. I started doing some investigating with my multi-meter and found that when I pull the 50amp J/B fuse, my drain goes away. can anyone shed some light on what the J/B fuse is, and if they have ever experienced this issue before. also when I pull the fuse my radio and clock shut off like normal when the key is out and the driver door is opened, but with the fuse out my power windows do not work. they make a weak clicking sound like they need more power to make the windows roll down. Any words of advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys,

thanks for the responses guys. I think this weekend I am gonna pull the radio and see if that eliminates my battery drain. If so I guess I will be getting a new radio haha. I will keep you guys posted. Thanks!
