Locked/security the car. When the two truck arrived he noticed the bottom bulb/socket tail light left side was on. Removed it. 3 weeks ago the radio wouldn't turn off. Locked /security set and the top light bar/clock displayed stayed on. I removed the rear location radio fuse. Everything seem to work fine. No lights on the dash, except for SES in relationship to engine.
Is this a precursor to battery issues to come? Battery is 3 plus years old. Related to radio? What can I test and look for? Help. Please.

What was wrong with your DISA valve? If it just the seal, the seal can be replaced with an O-ring for about $3.00 on eBay. If the flap is broken or the pin that secure the flap is loose or has fallen out I would just spend the extra money and buy a new Disa Valve. The pin once it become loose can be sucked into the intake manifold and cause internal engine damage.
