When I was parking this morning I switched everything off and the radio and ciggie socket were still live. I played around with the terminals on the battery thinking it could be a wire thats resting on the battery.. its not.
i ended up taking out the fuse while its parked so i'm not left with a drained battery.. had a fiddle under the dash shaking a bunch of wires but no good. I might need to look at it a bit closer when I get home..
in the meantime.. any suggestions are welcome..

AHAH!
rip the stereo out and everythings off.. hook up the wire harness and its all on again.. think rain has got through and corroded the harness receiver wires so they are shorting ACC and +tive.. i'll give it a clean now and see if it fixes it..
I think i might add a layer of gaffa tape of teh vents at the rear/top of the stereo.. that might stop it from happening again for a while..

Mate, wouldn't have thought that's water damage - I'd call that component failure in the radio.
All that brown crap looks like that capacitor has failed in a rather sudden fashion, and there appears to be half a resistor in the first picture?
This wasn't necessarily caused by water, and it'll require more than a clean to resurrect it. I'd be suspecting a short in one of your output wires, or at the very least you've got a severely mismatched load which has caused a meltdown - what's the blue connector do?
Have you been running the volume flat out?
