Just for the record - in case anyone else reads this at some point in the future.

Engine load test showed a parasitic load. Radio was replaced, and the sound now only lasts a few minutes after the engine is turned off.

Here's the kicker: mileage is way up. Used to be 19-20. Last tank was about 23.4. I think some of it is the nicer weather, and some of it is reduced engine load.

Thanks for the help to those who opined. Just wanted to post that it's solved.
