Radio wont turn off
Hi all,
I am having a problem with the radio in my car. Whenever I turn the ignition off and take the key out of it, the radio continues to play. I can't find any shorts in the wiring harness, so I was wondering if it may an internal problem in the ignition? Has anyone had this sort of problem? |

Radio wont turn off
Need some more info to be sure. Does it go off when you open the door?
Does power stay supplied to other electrical equipment or just the radio? My car continues to supply power to the radio and windows for a few minutes or until a door is open. Could be that it is an aftermarket radio installation and their are 2 power supply wires (orange and red I believe). Orange is for the clock (constant power) and red is for the power thru fuse panel (controlled by ignition) if they are reversed then you get a radio that stays fully powered all the time. This was the color schema on power wires for my first aftermarket radio install I did for myself and you should refer to the diagrams specific to your car and radio to be sure. wrote: > Hi all, > I am having a problem with the radio in my car.

Who wired it up?
Did it just start doing this? Maybe it was wired that way on purpose? Mine is.

If the only thing you can contribute to this discussion is meaningless insults, why don't you just go away? You try hard to convince people that you're brilliant, but what you come across as is simply argumentative. I suppose self-loathing will do that though. I think I hear your fan club meeting coming to order. Why don't you go entertain them for a while? |

I try to get a simple answer but all I get from this idiot is meaningless insults. The problem it turns out, is a faulty ignition which when in the "off" position has the voltage of the "acc" position, thus proving a faulty ignition. But apparantly he should have already of known that, since he apparantly knows all...notice how he has no comment on the Grand Am having an electrical delay, since there is none. I think i'd know my car by now. |
