radio turning on and off won't turn off when car turns off Sign In

I drive a 2003 ford focus SE and it came with a blapunk(sp) radio. I have owned the car for 2.5 years and never had a problem with the radio. however, the other day my radio started messing up after using the RDS feature on the radio. (which I use all the time.) I think 2 buttons at once got pushed in and it started flashing on and off. none of the buttons on the radio would work. It wouldn't turn of when the vehicle was turned off. we had to pull the fuse. any ideas??

Sounds like you have a short in wiring of the unit. It seems to be getting constant power to it. The only thing that is supposed to have a constant power source is your memory wire. I would pull it out and check the harness, make sure 2 wires aren't together or loose or touching with the bare ends. This should fix the problem.
