Default Parasitic power draw.

2009 town and country 3.3L flex

found that i have a power draw seemed to be coming from the radio due to a failed/failing unit.
when i got home from work tonight i pulled into a pitch black garage amd shut van down. I waited for van to go to sleep so to speek. After my eyes adjusted i noted that even though power was off and i opened and closed driver door to shut off everything else that the radios display screen ( just the factory cd player am/fm one) was lit up very faint if it wasnt pitch black in garage i would have never seen it. Upon seeing this i look at thw other screens on the speedo and tac both were also faintly lit the same way very very faint.
Any ideas why after sleep mode has been entered these three screens would be lit..... If i can attach a picture i will of the radio screen as i couldnt get the others 2 show up because it was so faint. This is leading me to think its not just the radio sense the tac and speedo habe the same bacighting on them

Ignore the backlights on the buttons amd look very close at center of picture ull notice orange lines across the screen. The speedo and tac screens are lit the same way i just couldnt get my camera to pic it up. ( i had to turn on head lights to get my camera to see the screen lit up but it looks the same when off).
