Default radio stays on when car is off

Just wondering if anyone had any idea what is going on. I've had the car (97 Civic EX) for nearly two years with an aftermarket head unit, sirius radio, and radar detector, which now all remain powered on after the car is turned off. This just began happening two nights ago, however this causes my battery to go dead within about 6 hours. Also my keyless entry does not work anymore, probably because the factory radio which is behind the dash is staying powered on (thinking I'm in the car).

If anyone has had this problem or has an idea of what it might be please let me know. The only thing I can think of right now would be for a problem in the tumbler ignition thinking that it is staying on acc all the time. Thanks.

Default RE: radio stays on when car is off

Well after letting it sit for a day, I decided to charge the battery again and somehow it seems to be working fine today. Anyone have any idea what this could have been. I checked all my remote wires, checked fuses, and could not figure it out. I had constant power to my radio which is wired to my amp, all my 12v power outlets, and I guess the factory radio which is behind the dash because I could not lock my doors with my keyless entry. For some reason it just stayed powered on 24/7 for a day?
