Power Accessory Relay Help

Just purchased a 2006 mountaineer. Installed a new pioneer d3 nav radio. The problem i'm having is that the power accessory relay is not working. So when you shut off vehicle, so does the radio. I looked for the relay, i think its in a hard to get place on the left side of the smart junction box. Question, should the power windows still be working if the relay is bad? They do. I put the stock stock radio back in and it shuts off too, so i know its not my wiring. Any help to get to the relay or a way to solve this problem would be appreciated.

The windows in my '04 continue to work for 10 minutes after the key is turned off, or until I open a door; the radio turns off right away. Are you saying the radio has no power with the key in ACC position?

no, the radio works until the key is shut off. At that point the accessory delay relay is supposed to keep it on until a door is opened, or until the ten minute delay is reached.
