Radio has mind of its own

My wife reset the clock this morning for daylight savings time while I was driving. At some point after that point, the radio is unresponsive to all control inputs. Parked the car, and shut while thing down, all lights are off and radio still plays. Can't change station, source, volume. The only thing that works it when I press the power button, the radios display goes on and off. But still plays at contstant volume. Does anyone know of a reset method? Help! Please!

How old is your battery? You might try removing negative post for about 30 minutes. Let the system reset.

Thanks for suggestion as it led me in the right direction. I located the appropriate fuse, luckily, the first one I pulled was the correct one. Radio went off. I let it sit for 5 minutes, stuck the fuse back in, and everything returned to normal. Before all of this, the clock had been stuck on 10:20. Upon sticking the fuse back in, even the time was right.
