Dead Battery

I have a problem in which my battery is dead some time and it is not a bad battery. Since this problem has started some times when I turn the truck off my radio continues to play if I had it on, and requires me to turn the radio off. Other times when my truck and radio are off and I leave it and come back later the radio is on. I assuming that my dead battery is because the radio has been on and drained the battery. Seems like my problem is the rado or the ignition switch. Anyone had a similar problem?

Might be a stuck accessory delay relay.

If you have a decent set of wiring diagrams they will tell you where the relay is located.

With the radio turned on, remove the relay. If it does'nt click when you remove it you need to replace it.

Thanks for the reply but, I don't have any wiring diagarms. I will look under the hood for a relay that might be labeled.
