aftermarket stereo help

I recently installed an aftermarket deck, older one, Kenwood KRC-S505 which replaced OEM Stereo.
I used the wiring adapter for my 96 Corolla. My problem is when I turn off the key the digital dash clock
stays on. It never used to and I am afraid it will eventually run down my battery. Also the radio still has
power when I turn off the key. Appreciate any help anyone can give.

Sounds like you simply got some wires backwards, like mixed up the ACC-on and battery

Thanks for the advice. Took care of the power problem. But recently I noticed my parking and dash
lights come on when I turn the key to the on position. I am assuming it has something to do with
the stereo, what else could it be? Appreciate any advice.

yeah the wires for the park/dash lights also goes to the radio. Sounds like another wiring issue there Razz
