Electrical problems

I have a F150 2008 super cab lariat. It has auto drop running boards that stopped coming down when door is open. After that the drivers side door locks quit working. Radio does not turn off after truck is turned off and door is opened.

I have read most commonly this is the wire bundle between the door and truck cab that has stripped or broken wires. This is not my case all wires are fine. This wire bundle does have a plug on the end that plugs into the cab of truck.

Battery continues to drain, so I am sure something is shorted someplace. I am just running out of places to look. All fuses are fine too.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated! Thanks

I occasionally have this issue; when I open the door with the key in the ignition the door chime continues to go off when I close the door. During this the radio also continues to play. On another note I believe there is a 20 minute timer that will shut off power to the dome light if you leave the door open. I would try that to see if it will auto-shutdown. I've been told by a mechanic I trust that it is the door switch causing the issue. He said it wasn't a cheap repair so I decided to live with it. Mine only occurs occasionally. Maybe you could search some door switch posts for some possible answers.
