My battery has been dying due to the clock/radio staying on even after I've shut of the vehicle. Normally, as soon as I would open the driver's side door, it would shut off, but now it stays on until the battery dies. How do I shut it off? Any ideas? :(

Pull the fuse or disconnect power to radio. The radio is hooked to switched ignition, but also to a constant power source for the clock and presets.

I think the radio is bad.
