Default Radio won't go off....

I have a 2006 V6 and a new problem came up today. Whenever I used to turn off my engine and open the door, the radio would automatically shut off. Well, now the radio will not auto shut off when any door is open and the key is out of the ignition. I have to manually turn off the radio but my clock light still shines at night. I am afraid it will drain my battery down soon. Anyone ever heard of this happening and if so what is the fix other than a trip to the dealer. I have already disconnected the battery for 20 minutes and then reconnected to no avail. Thanks !

Is your passengers side carpet or the pan underneith it wet?
Sounds like a bad door switch or the infamous underdash
water dispensor (leak) has gotten your SJB.
Try opening the passengers side door to see if that will shut
it off. If so, its the door switch hidden deep within the door
assembly itself, not on the door jamb.[:@]
