Gary, definitely pull that radio fuse to see if that's the problem. The clock display and the intermittent radio on/off when shutting the car off is not normal. Sounds like the radio is bad and it's not allowing the car to go into "sleep" mode. Your car needs less than 50mA of current draw to properly go into "sleep" mode and not drain your battery (I can provide details on testing current draw, but it will require an expensive Fluke multi-meter to test). Do you have an iPod or cell phone plugged in and charging overnight? That could do it as well. Let us know how the radio fuse pull goes tonight!
