Car Stereo Problem
I replaced the front speakers in my 2016 Fusion on Thursday, and now I have constant power to my stereo which is killing my battery. The stereo shuts off when I open my door, but is still trickling some power and is able to be turned on even with no key in the ignition. I am also getting some constant white noise in the old speakers. Installed the mids with a factory harness, cut the clips off the tweeters to get those installed.

I am at a total loss here, it is the original head unit and I didn’t touch that at all during the install. I wouldn’t think speaker replacement would cause an issue such as this, but here we are. Anyone have any ideas or experience with this sort of issue?

Also, would a fried channel allow the head unit to power itself on and cause the white noise? I’m still getting sound from every speaker, or I was when the unit powered on.

I would recommend chasing like any parasitic draw. Disconnect your negative cable. With a test light or amp meter check to see if there is a draw then remove fuses until you don't have a draw. Obviously start with the radio fuse first.
You don't want to chase ghosts, narrow the search first but I agree that you may have smoked the head unit or possibly have polarity reversed on your speakers.

It 100% is the head unit drawing the power as I’m getting noise to my speakers. Reverse polarity shouldn’t cause the head unit to still be receiving power, should just cause my speakers to be out of sync.

Have you tried to disconnect the battery to reset the system?

I unplugged the head unit this morning and I’m still getting white noise from my back speakers... however there were no plugs going into the back of the head unit whatsoever, so in theory those wires shouldn’t be connected to anything. There’s gotta be an amp in there somewhere, right?

I'd go into the trunk on the right side and unplug the amp if there is one. See if the noise stops.

That stereo goes into the can system IIRC . You can cause all kinds of problems if you shorted something there I'd think.

I just looked back through my warranty stuff and they actually had to replace the factory amp after unplugging the sub kit because it fried the RF speaker channel

Why’d you replace the speakers to begin with?

The old ones were the shitty factory ones with paper cones and basically no magnet. Wanted an upgrade. Figured it would be $100 and an hour of my time.

You might have some damage. The background noise could be the head unit trying to ground through the speaker leads, too.

I had a Phoenix Gold ZX450 amp do the same thing you are describing. I couldn’t figure out what the problem was for a few hours, ended up being a bad potentiometer (the little thing that adjusts the gain).

This was a factory fresh amp mind you.

There's definitely some kind of amp, no way you would hear anything out of the speakers if not. I have seen the control module(that controls/powers the radio with the key out) be a culprit. Factory amps with internal grounding issues (even of the GM sort) have been a cause unwanted noise.

I am thinking Lew gets the most helpful ribbon for this thread.

on a serious note. I am thinking you fried the head unit or an amp.
If you put it back as original and it still does not work my money is on the head unit.
