The 95.5s were wired to the ignition switch, or rather the ignition key.
When you shut off the ignition the radio stays on but as soon as you remove
the key it will shut off. There is a circuit that is mechanically
interrupted when the key is removed. So, I'm assuming that Robert has a
95.5 if his radio used to stay on. It's possible that when the switch was
replaced something got screwed up in the wiring harness.
Robert - Does the door chime still work with the key in and ignition off? I
believe this is controlled by the same circuit.
