Ok so update, I have found that the inside fuse panel had a copper wire connecting the defroster to the window fuse (both breakers) and that's the only way for radio and windows to work. Neither work without that bridge.
TRY THIS:
Staying in the car, shut it off and remove the key. Observe the radio and windows continue functioning. Open the door. Notice the radio and windows stop working the moment you opened the door.
This is the "retained accessory power" feature in our cars.
This is the normal operation of the feature.

I am having this problem to, my battery actually died cause I didnt notice it at first. I resoldered the T on the BCM this seemed to fix it but for only about two weeks. Its got to be a problem with the BCM or door sensor, cause I also do not have interior lights when I open the door.
