99 9-3 Battery drain & radio button lights always on

Can anyone supply the pin function information for the radio plug?
I've been fighting a battery drain problem for a few months where it only takes about 48 hours to drain the battery.
There is always a parasitic drain of 0.3 amps. (This is after waiting 20 minutes for the car to fully shut down.) If I remove fuse number 13 in the fuse panel to the left of the dash, which is labeled "Radio/Diag", the load drops to a few milliamps.
Well, I was walking past the car last night and noticed that the radio button lights were still on even though the car was off and locked. I never noticed them always being on, even at night, just for lack of looking.
So I will remove the radio to confirm that the 0.3 amp load is from the button lights. I now believe that these button lights are my parasitic load.
After that my next check is to see if the radio lights stay on due to a faulty signal from the car wiring harness, or to see if there is some defect in the radio. That's why I am hoping someone can supply me with the radio connector pin assignments.
