Haunted 2002 F250

My 2002 F250 is having some issues, when I turn the truck off and remove the key the interior lights start flickering and the radio will stay on after the door is open. It will do this for I don't know how long, probably hours. One of my friends called me on my cell the other day while I was on the road, in my son's car, my friend was telling me that my interior light was flickering on and off numerous times, this was three hours after we had left town! This has been going on probably since the cold months, January or February. I traced the problem maybe to the fuse box inside the cab where the clicking noise was coming from. The sound was coming from behind a relay. I took it out and it stopped, put a different one in and it started again. Any ideas on this? Also, for an even longer time, my radio(stock am/fm stereo 6 disc changer) is acting strange too. The balance and bass will automatically sometimes go all the way to the right and I'll change them and they will do it almost immediately again. The CD changer is jacked up too, it won't play CDs or let me eject my CDs. It just says CD or Disc Error. If anyone has any answers for me on this I would appreciate it. ???

Sounds like something going to the 'Accessory Delay' relay, maybe a grounded or chaffed wire. I would recommend taking the truck to the Ford dealer for wiring issues. They have specialized equipment to trace individual circuits. I had an issue with a wire under the headliner causing my windows not to work. The Ford dealer found it very quickly.

The radio is a separate issue. The wiring of the truck can't affect the workings of the radio. I would say jump on eBay and find a used radio to replace it.
