Hey everyone,I have a 92 n/a slicktop and my battery has been draining itself. I have a feeling it has something to do with behind my stereo. There is a red wire and a yellow wire that i have touching so my stereo will work as well as dome lights, cig lighter, etc. but i believe it is draining my battery. when these are unplugged nothing inside works. Just looking for some input.Maybe somebody can tell me how to hook these wires up correctlythanks

Well it's pretty hard to get anything considering I live in the middle of nowhere and the closest nissan dealer is almost 2 hours away. I know it has something to do with the red wire and yellow wire. my stereo works with the car off and key out of the ignition as well as wipers, cig lighter and other accessories. does anyone know where these red and yellow wires go? I'm getting tired of jump starting my car everyday...
