I'm not an expert on this, but radios are supposed to be wired through the fusebox so they turn off when the car is off. It seems like your problem is that maybe the circuit that the fuse runs off is bad, or someone bypassed the fusebox and wired the radio straight to the battery. I would check the fusebox with the car and radio on, pull the fuse that is supposed to control the radio and see if it makes it go off. If it doesn't go off (or if there is no fuse there) then someone has bypassed it. Either way, a local radio shop should be able to fix it pretty easily and it wouldn't cost you as much as replacing you battery all the time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but I hope this at least gets you in the right direction. Good Luck!

Right rear brake caliper wont twist clockwise on a 2006 ford five hundred

It should twist in both directions
unless it is rusted, and I would
doubt it ,after only 5 years

You have to flush brake fluid every
2 years on ALL Vehicles,SO !!

You should have a tool to turn it

On my Lincoln LS I had to modify
one to use it.

While driving the speedometer, the brake light and the abs light comes on the speedometer stop working on my 2006 five hundred

I had this same problem with my 2006 Ford Five Hundred. The instrument gauges would all fail and go to zero for a few seconds and then come back on as if nothing happened. During this issue, the reverse lights and "idiot lights" would also come on.

Everyone told me it was bad cluster gauges, so I replaced them and it was not the problem.

There were several cracked/broken wires leading from the main computer of the vehicle to the charging system. The delearship found the broken wires and it cost me $ 190.00 to have it fixed and the car now runs great, no more failure of the gauges.
