the clock and interior light are on a circuit that's always on (called 'dome' sometimes).
you would have tapped into that circuit for the radio so it had power to save presents and settings.
if the fuse blows, you get no radio memory, interior light and clock forgets the time.
the door resetting the clock it suggests that it is relying on the earth the door switch provides to an earth - you may have crossed over the earth and a dome circirt somewhere.
the clock tuning on/off is either a symptom of a lack of backup power or the access circuit is also dodgy.
get multimeter out and check where you do and don't have power in that circuit. fuse may look good but be stuffed (especially if it's an old glass-tube fuse ad when they get twisted, they look intact but are infact busted)
cheers, charles.
