Radio wont turn off
Its the stock radio, I have not messed with it at all. I unlocked my car to move it to the other side and when I opened the door my radio was already on and playing, after moving the car I turned off the car, pulled the key and opened the door but it wont shut off. Even after closing the door and locking it the radio remains on, whats wrong with my car now?

Sounds like the Retained accessory control is fuzzy...
Does the keyless work fine?

I am not sure if the RAC Module is bad or you have a bad door switch..
Next time you turn the car off, and the radio is still on, open the passenger door and see if it shuts off..

will the stereo shut off at all?
I don't have a Pic of where the RAC Module is... But there will be a small black Box buried under the passenger side kick.hush panel... There will be a white connector with 8-10 wires, do not confuse this with the silver box on the fire wall( PCM )...
When you disconnect the RAC( white connector ) you will loose Iluminated entry and keyless function iirc but see if the Radio and the like stay off... If this is the case the RAC may have failed..

If it is the module about how much am I looking at to fix it? Will it still need to be fixed/replaced when I put an aftermarket cd player in?

You Car has the security system correct?
The module either has the 3rd connector for the security inputs/outputs or if you don't have security than you do not have the 3rd connector.... Depends on which one you have...
You should be able to get one from a JY.... If not I have a RAC Module that has the Security portion..

Try cleaning the battery cables. Remove the bolts & rubber boots so you can get to the corrosion. Clean the cable ends with sandpaper or wire brush. Apply dielectric grease & reassemble. Let us know if that cures the starting problem.
