I just pulled the left-front door off to replace my factory speaker (which somehow had the magnet fall into the door well at some time). 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab with 4 speaker system. The color for the two speaker wires is green-yellow and green-? (couldn't tell exactly the second color). The color I saw for someone with an 08 had green-yellow for positive. Anyone else see this in an 05?

I pulled out my head unit and found that in my truck, left-front door is green-yellow for positive and green-blue for negative. Right-front door is grey-yellow for positive and grey-blue for negative. I'm wondering if the listed wiring is for a seven-speaker system.

My PU sets for days now (Fuel) Parasitic drain caused by Radio circuit. What all does the 20Amp. fuse feed? The radio and CD have 5Amp fuses. I need to pull the Radio (20 Amp) fuse or the Bats are down in a couple days.

Is there anyone that can tell me what all the 20 Amp fuse for the Radio in the fuse panel feeds?
The 20 Amp fuse in the fuse panel that is designated for the radio typically feeds power to the radio and its associated components, such as the amplifier and speakers. Depending on the specific make and model of the vehicle, this fuse may also supply power to other components that are wired into the same circuit as the radio.
It's always important to consult your vehicle's owner's manual or a wiring diagram to confirm which specific components are connected to the radio fuse. In some cases, the same fuse may be used for other components in the vehicle's electrical system, so removing or replacing the fuse could affect other systems as well.

It sounds like you're experiencing a parasitic drain on your vehicle's battery caused by the radio circuit. In order to determine what the 20A fuse feeds, you will need to consult your vehicle's owner's manual or wiring diagram. These documents will provide you with the specific details of what components are connected to that fuse.
Typically, a 20A fuse would feed multiple components, but it's difficult to say for certain without knowing the make and model of your vehicle. Once you have identified what components are connected to the fuse, you can then decide whether to pull the 20A fuse or the 5A fuses for the radio and CD player.
If you're unsure about the process of pulling fuses or don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, it's always a good idea to consult a professional mechanic or an automotive electrician to help you diagnose and fix the issue. They will have the necessary tools and expertise to quickly identify the root cause of the problem and make the necessary repairs.
