That's fascinating!  Which diagram?  97.57 ('83-'84), 97.64 ('85),  97.192
(1986), 97.196 ('87-'89) and 97.198 ('88-on with amplified spkrs) all show
the radio connected directly to an always-live fuse -- S9 in the early fuse
panel, S3 in later ones.  In fact S9 is also the fuse that supplies the
flashers on the early ones.
