It could be several different things. First, the LCD displays on new automotive radios often create interesting patterns when they are turned off. To reduce current draw, open the faceplate. This disconnects the LCD. NOTE: many newer radios include a remote control using infrared light. These systems may have significant drain due to the remote control. For best effect install a radio kill switch.
