I have a 2005 Honda Pilot. When I shut the car off and remove the key the clock which is located within the radio is staying illuminated, which over time is draining the battery.

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.

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.

SOURCE: 1998 GMC Sierra radio and display stays on all the time

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.

SOURCE: Hi, I replaced my honda

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.

How do I brighten clock light it's very dim?

Is your clock part of radio assembly? There is usually a dimmer control for interior lamps, you rotate it to brighten or dim interior lamps--dome--instrument cluster--radio illumination. The same thing should work for the clock. If clock is part of radio assembly, I guess you can remove radio and dig into it, see if you find the wiring for clock illumination.

2005 Honda Pilot: engine light suddenly stays on and radio turns off intermittently and then comes back on by itself. Any ideas?

Loose connection to battery caused radio to turn off when the brakes were applied! Overheating was a simple matter of low coolant... thought the two problems were related at first because they both started happening at the same time!
