How do you change a headlight bulb in a 98 Ford Taurus?

You have 2 live wires. Permanent live which goes to battery and stores your time date and radio chanels programmed in.
The other should go to the ignition wire at back of stereo.
That would swith it off when ignition off.
Failing all that messing around. Just switch it off when you turn car off. Wont do any harm

If I am correct, your radio has been hooked up directly to your battery. I believe it has bypassed something. The alternater, maybe. You should have it wired properly. You could kill your battery if you forget to turn your radio off.

'97 Dodge 1500, V8 engine. WON'T exceed 50mph.?

It's normal for your car. some cars do have the radio independent of the switch. While my radio can still beplayed without turning the engine controls on you still have to use the switch.
But yours is evidently not connected to the swithc. Just turn it off and you'll be ok.

Commonly the radio goes off when the keys are removed, and I would have said someone's fiddled with the wiring except that I've heard of that with Puntos before. Probably, therefore, it is normal for that car. Don't forget to tuirn it off!
