I was out driving topless today and my radio just quit working and then I noticed that my dash clock cut out when I opened my door. Do you think I have a bad ground or is my harness messed up?

It's one of the fuses in your driver side kick panel. Mine did the same thing a couple weeks ago .

No radio, clock turns off when door opens (resets when door closed).

Don't remember exactly what fuse it was, but probably that one.

Yeah I had the very same problem in mine. Mine also had the door open light always light dimly. I believe it was the courtesy fuse that was popped..
