Yes. I agree with Thomas's question. If so, you might want to check to make sure that the wiring inside is connected properly. Specifically, that no wires connect directly to the battery. If they are, them the ignition switch will not turn it off and you will have to manually turn it off each time until it is rewired.
Is it a after market radio?
SOURCE: battery keeps dying due to radio+clock staying on
your radio is staying on? you have a bad door switch.the bcm does not see door opening and thus does not turn radio off. most likely the drivers door.

First of all...does your truck have the retained accessory power (RAP)? If it does, the radio would always stay on with the key off until you open the drivers door. If it does have RAP and the door pin on the drivers door has went bad, then the truck doesn't know that you opened the door and continues to allow accessory power (although it would still cut off after about 20 minutes). If the interior lights come on when you open the door, then the pin is ok. If the lights come on, it could be the RAP relay. If it has gone bad, it is possible it is stuck supplying power and needs replacing. The relay should be labeled in the fuse panel, and there should be other relays in the panel with the same part number. You can swap a relay for the RAP relay and see if it fixes the problem...if it does fix it swap the relays back and replace the RAP relay. If the truck doesn't have RAP then it is possible the problem is in the radio..if you have a friend with a GM car or truck close to the same year you could swap radios and see if that fixes your problem...should be pretty simple. pull the cover off the dash, it just clips on, take out a couple screws that hold in the radio, unplug it and plug in the other radio. sorry so long winded...hope this helps you somewhat.

In the newer Honda's there is a lock code on the radios when they lose power the code kicks in to prevent theft the reset code should be in your owners manual if it isn't call your locale Honda dealer.

its the signal switch on the colunm NOT the hazard switch

Do the domelights work like they are suppose to? It might be a door switch.
