Radio won't turn off...draining battery 200

Last week I "fixed" the brake switch and bulb out sensor on my 1992 245. Of course I had the panel on the driver's side (in front of the knees) and was working in that area.

The car sat a week and wouldn't start and the battery is new. I jumped it and it was OK until the next day then the same thing. I jumped it again today and drove it to the store. When I turned the ignition off I noticed the radio stayed on.

Obviously the radio is draining the battery but how can I find out what's wrong? I assume while working on the brake switch or bulb out sensor I did something to a wire etc. A new radio was installed about 6 months ago and my wife said the installer was working in the same area.

Suggestions? Thanks in advance!
