Default 2005 Dodge Durango Hemi Limited, some issues

Hi everyone, I signed up to this forum yesterday and have already introduced myself. I'm Italian and don't speak English, so I'm using Google Translate to write in the hope that I can make myself understood. Let's get down to business: I'm a happy owner of a 2005 Dodge Durango Hemi Limited.
Despite being 20 years old, I have only done 101,000 miles, the engine runs well, it drives safely, BUT, for some time now, it has been giving me electrical problems. The radio works, but the CDs do not work, with the vehicle off and without the keys in the ignition, from the radio, you can hear a slight noise similar to when you switch from one CD to another, it does it for a little while and then it's gone. The battery tends to discharge, so every time I turn off the engine, I have to disconnect it. I have already tried checking the relays, both in the engine compartment and next to the pedal board, but I have not found any problems, finally, the tire pressure light comes on, but it seems to me that this accessory is not standard, and if I do not close the rear door properly, the trailer tow light comes on (which by the way I do not even have a hook). Finally, if I have not turned on the air conditioning, the water temperature rises to the maximum.
I kindly ask you if anyone has had the same problems and how they solved them. Thank you.

Good morning, update. Yesterday I wrote that the radio worked, but the CD player didn't. Today neither the radio nor the clock work.

Check the fuses, make sure those are good...... Aside from that, might wanna start looking for a replacement Radio.

My 06 durango limited hemi radio never works below about 60 degrees. Today it started working when it was 70 deg F. I was told they get moisture in them so I really dont have an answer for you. I just carry a bluetooth speaker and rock on. Good Luck!!

Hi, so part of the problems are due to humidity. I'm afraid the problem of the battery running low is due to a malfunction of the radio/CD player.
