Is it an aftermarket radio? sounds like the power is hooked up to the wire that lights up the radio with the headlights. Download the service manual that dhvaughn has a link for and trace the supply. The manual kicks a$$. totally need it.
If no one hacked up the wires metra makes a plug to use on radios, sounds like you are going to have to pull the bezel and investagate. Also search the web and you will be able to find a radio diagram and make it right. that situation cannot be good for your headlight switch.
It's not to bad just bothers me that i have to have my lights on all the time. plus it just randomly cuts off while Im driving. i will do some investigating when i get home. also i downloaded the manual for the wire diagram. thanks for everyone's help.
