A couple days ago I installed my radar detector and LI in my car, tapping into the fuse box (fuse 31? Reverse lights) using add a circuit. I put the old fuse in one slot and the additional one to power the radar and LI in the other one. The last couple days my car has been doing a weird thing at startup. It will not turn on the first time and when I do get it the ESP light is on and the clock is reset. It is a very weird jolt of power, if you will. Tonight, my car would not turn on completely for a couple of minutes, before finally starting up. I ran codes using vagcom (what it would let me run at least) and got an electrical problem. The codes were as follows: 02071-local databus and 57-electrical circuit failure. Can anyone explain this issue? Is my battery being drained? I really want to get this issue solved. Any help will be much appreciated. Feel free to PM me as well..

I hate to sound obvious, but...untap the new wiring and see if the problem goes away. Just trying to be helpful. I know I don't think clearly when my car is acting up.

Will definitely try that. Any other suggestions on how to fix this?
