Default relay clicking

help........I have an after market CD player in my 85 vet and if I play it longer than 20 min, a relay just under the rear hatch latch starts clicking after i shut the car off......the only way to get it to stop is to remove the fuse from from the panel ? I've replaced the relay but the problem continues......

The relay at the hatch latch is for the power antenna. The pink wire going to the relay activates the relay. Using a METER, check for voltage on the pink wire while the problem is occuring (do not use a test light). The pink wire should be connected to the antenna trip on the radio (usually Blue). If you are getting voltage from the antenna trip after the unit is shut off, then you will have to have the radio repaired or replaced.
