2002 Explorer- wacky electrical problem

I posted a question a couple of weeks ago about the power door locks on my '02 Explorer and got no replies. Since then, I've noticed several other weird electrical oddities that may help to diagnose the problem. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

My original post indicated that my power lock on the driver’s side will not work when the key is in the “Off” position. When the key is “ON”, it works just fine. The passenger side works always. I use the key fob to lock the door and that works fine as well. It seems to just be that one switch.<o></o>

Here are a couple of other things that I have recently noticed. When attempting to unlock the door with the key pad on the driver’s door pillar, the alarm goes off when I hit the “3” key (a problem since my code begins with 3.) I can unlock the door while the alarm is sounding. Also, as soon as the key is turned to the “Off” position, the radio immediately shuts off. It used to stay on until the door was opened.<o></o>

Any ideas? <o></o>
