Clock always on?

[PSU 98]

I haven't driven my car for a couple weeks now and I noticed yesterday through the window that my radio clock is still on. Is this normal?

Sounds like the radio blew the driver transistor for the display. There is a thread on this sight that explains how to repair it.

What they said about the transistor. Until it is repaired the clock will drain the battery. So either unplug the radio connectors, or pull the CIG/CLK fuse. Although pulling that fuse will disable a bunch of other items, such as trunk & under hood light, power locks, courtesy lights, vanity mirror light and so on.

Thanks guys. Need to fix it. I tried to start it this afternoon and the battery was indeed dead
