Default '02 stereo reset problem...

I have the issue where the backlighting of the stereo comes on, stays on after car turns off, and stereo doesn't work. It has happened twice, but a pretty simple pull of the fuse and it's back to normal.
Has anyone else lived with this - does it continue to get worse? I still have 2 months left of warranty, wondering if it is worth the effort to take it in.

Does it stay on for a little while, or constantly?

Pulling the fuse is just cutting power source briefly. There's probably another problem somewhere that isn't fuse related.

I would take it in under warranty if you can't get a read on what the cause is.

It is a "firmware" glitch, yes take it in for warranty.
