ELECTRICAL Drain?? Ignition?

Other night; radio stays on for sometime. Eventually goes to sleep.
Next day. Radio turns on without key ignition turned onto #2 or engine running.
I can't remember if I ever could turn the MID head unit/radio control on without the ignition switch turned on.
How do I determine if the ignition switch is bad?
The radio head unit will flicker on and off if you hold down the volume control knob. Radio turns off manually with the volume control knob, then turn off the car and it stays off.
I had the entire sounds system checked out for shorts/draws and it came up negative. Are the ignition switches faulty as the vehicle ages? It is 15 years old with 209K miles.
I think I can change it, just don't want to throw parts at.
