Radio Stays on after Car OFF

I have a 2007 ML350 that recently had the water thru the tail light and sunroof flooding to the Rear Sam issue...Now after repairing this the Radio is still having this issue...if i would leave the radio on after turning off the Car...the radio would turn on by itself after a couple minutes way after i leave and lock the Car...causing dead battery all the time...Does anyone know how to tackle this ????

Do you use keyless entry? Does your doors unlock when turning off the engine?

Try to use the regular key. Maybe an issue with the microswitch in the door lock.

Do you mean pulling the door handle? If that is the case, the open the door the spray the latch (red arrow) with WD40. Then using a flat tip screwdriver, push the latch all the way forward and then pull the door handle. Do this procedure until the door locks properly.
