need a lil help

just wondering if any1 has ever went the to turn off the car. turned and removed the key from the ignition. and the radio still stayed on. even after you open the door? well thats what happen to me so i didnt think nothing of it. i simply just turned off the radio and went in the house. i didnt drive the car until 2 days later and all of a sudden i go to start it and nothing. no keyless entry, no lights. no radio no nothing. does anyone have a clue to whats going on. my guess is the battery... but ive only had the batter for 2months.

any help would be appreciated. thanks

obviously the battery NOW but you have another problem with the ignition switch or something that is keeping your system on without the key. Short somewhere in the ignition maybe. If its ground side switching for that..

Try swapping the ignition relay with another relay (verify its the same number).
Then try the ACC relay if that doesn't work. These are quick things to try.
