2002 Ford Explorer anti-theft problem

[Detoro]

I have recently purchased a 2002 Ford Explorer 4.6l fully loaded yet has a couple of problems. Most of which are easy and inexpensive for what I bought it for. But unfortunately the CD changer was removed prior to the purchase and the battery has something drawing from it that leaves it totally dead over time. The anti-theft light flashes constantly until the battery is dead. So I'm hoping that hooking g up a factory radio in the vehicle will stop this problem. The vehicle still starts by jumping it and allowing it to charge for a while. Does anyone know if my hunch is correct?

I have no idea, but I have an '02 factory radio whose cd player does not work that you can have, if you pay shipping. Drew.
