Really? Is it the stock radio? Have you done any upgrades to the sound system?

If not and you're under warrenty take it to the Dealer.

Sounds like my problem, except for me it's my headlight that wont turn off. Anyways, if it the factory one, just take it back and let them fix it under warranty.

that same thing happened to me when i got my aftermarket CD player put in, so i pulled it out right before i went to work, because i didn't want a dead as civic waiting for me when i got off, and i followed the wires around and couldn't find anything, then i was like WTF, so luckily i got off work early that day at took it to where it was installed, yeah I know if figures, and they tinkered with it alittle and after about 15 mins they came back and said that some wires were touching or something, so factory or aftermarket.... take that $hit back

I'm going to guess you installed a new cd player. test the wires with a 12 volt tester find out witch one is hot all the time and witch one turns on and off with the car, match them up with you're cd player. if you're head lights stay on then you have you're dimmer tied in. If you need I can tell you tomorrow the color.

Remote wire is staying on... I usually put them under a blower motor fuse as they only work when the key is engaged
