I wired in a clarion in dash into my 04 Chevy Silverado and when I turn my truck off the in dash stays on. So I turn the in dash off manually but the next day when I go to start my truck its dead. I know its the in dash because when I take it out my battery doesn't die. I remember someone saying I have to wire something into the ignition wire so it turns the in dash off when the truck is shut off. Would anyone be able to help me on this.

You need to run the red accessory wire to an accessory feed in the truck. The easiest place would be the igntion harness, use orange or brown.
