whell bought my truck as a theft recovery evidnt tampering of staring system and hot wiring to start the truck but now i got it staring up with the key and such but my probelm is when i shut the truck off the cd player has power to it no matter where the key is in the posistion or if its completely removed! the only wire i havent hooked back up is the blue and white striped one from the harness under the compartment cover. but could it be that wire of just the ignition system thats doing it? the doors and windows loose power 30 or so seconds after the key is removed but the player dosent and i hate not having it for the long drives and such any help would be greatly appreciated.

was the radio out at all?
factory or aftermarket radio?
it sounds like there is an ignition power feed to the radio that was mistakenly hooked to battery juice.

maybe the ingnition module under the dash is not completely sliding back up and is allowing power. White box under the steering column.
