Last week the cd player in the dash jammed. Not sure why since we never put in a disc with a label. Not sure what mode it is stuck in but it seems not to be able to complete something. Figured I would get it taken care of soon.

Hummer sits in the garage all weekend. Put the key in this morning and it's totally dead. Then the key will not return to the lock position so you can't get it out.

Run to the store to get a battery charger. Soon as I put the charger on, the key is allowed to return to the lock position and then I could take it out. The first thing I did is pull the fuse for the radio. The battery is charging as we speak.

This seems to be a brilliant piece of electrical engineering. CD player jams and in two days drains the battery 100%, locks the key in the ignition, and basically disables the whole thing.

What's wrong with this picture?

I haven't seen this with the H3 yet but we have seen several Cadillac's where the radio acts up and will drain the battery. swao the radio and prob gone. to fix right you would have to do a parasitic draw test and make sure it is the radio draining the battery. Hope that helps.
