Radio won’t turn off when engine off and keys out.

Improper head unit wiring ​​If the main power wire for the head unit is connected to a power source that is always hot, the radio won't ever turn off. Fix: rewire the radio to receive power from a source that is only hot when the ignition is in the accessory or run position. Ignition switch problem ​​If there is a problem with the ignition switch or cylinder, accessory power may be available even when the key is removed. Fix: check to see if accessory power is available when the key is in the off position. Realign the cylinder or replace the ignition switch as needed. Worn out key or ignition cylinder ​If your key or ignition cylinder are especially worn, you may be able to remove the key when the switch is still in the accessory or on position. Fix: make sure that the ignition switch is actually in the off position in the short term, and replace the cylinder when you can. Radio designed to stay on for a set amount of time Some car radios are on a timer, so they are designed to not shut off immediately. Fix: check if the radio has turned off a few minutes after the doors have been shut and locked. If it still hasn't turned off, check if the dome lights turn off when the doors are shut. This type of problem may require help from a professional.

Does the dome light come on when you open the door? My 99 Silverado does the same thing, and it is because it is not sensing that the drivers door has been opened. (which should shut off the radio) In my case I just walk around and open the passenger door and that shuts off the radio. The 20 min. timer is to prevent the battery from being drained if the radio, interior lights or whatever is left on.

That's actually a feature! that was normal for my truck. so you could sit and listen to music after truck off, but if you opened the door it would go off. Also, goes off after a certain time period.

My 05 Silverado just started doing this after I changed the battery. Stays on constantly and I have no sound.

I also have the same problem , one minute the radio is off one minute the radio is on my fear is the battery .

I’ve very recently been experiencing the problem where the auxiliaries don’t shut off after opening the door after removing the key from the ignition. I have to open and shut the door several times before the auxiliaries shut off. I’m curious if there might be a dirty sensor somewhere?

If my keys are out and the truck has been off 2 hours, I can open my door , push the power button in my 2015 1500 Silverado radio and will play until the battery is drained. My mechanic doesn’t know . It’s not supposed to be able to have power after the timer clicks and been off for 2-5 dang hours , and what’s the noise in the front floorboards that sounds like an old CD changer .... 5-10 minutes after the door has been closed and keys are out , something under the carpet sounds like a cd changer changing doscs

I have a 2020 Silverado Duramax which just started doing this. Very irritating.

I have a 07 LTZ crew cab 1500 my dad started smoking as I was going down the road I have no power to anything on my driver door such as butt warmers mirror are any of my windows and my CD player stays on constantly any ideas all factory wiring

I have a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado. I got into the truck today and it would not start and was completely dead except for the back lights on the aftermarket radio. That radio has worked flawlessly for 4 years and the last time I drove it was 2 days ago. Now when I open the door everything is supposed to turn off but for some reason the back lights on the stereo stayed on for 2 days. I knew I already needed to get a battery because it was 4 years old and was only rated for 2 or 3 years. However I checked the switch and the door latch and it seemed to find and I did replace the battery today because it needed to be replaced but I don't know if a week battery may have somehow tricked the ECM into thinking that the vehicle was still in an on or accessory position with a weak battery or if possibly the lock cylinder for the ignition was experiencing an issue however I've never had a problem with it before. however now whenever I take the key and put it in the off position and open the door everything turns off. It may just be a fluke I don't know.

So I have a 02 gmc yukon and I'm also having a similar problem. When I take the key out of ignition it keeps constantly dinging like my key is in. So the other day was taking my door panel off to replace speakers and unplugged the window switch on drivers side and it stopped. Well now it still does it and I have to do the same thing unplug the window switch otherwise the radio, dome lights, amd anything else stays on. It stops when the very last plug is unplugged like the one that goes to the lock switch almost. Battery died 2 times today and the second time I charged the battery, crunk the yukon and reduced engine power light was on until I unplugged the switch. I dont understand it and i need help with a solution.

This happened to us. But we had entered from passenger door. Once we opened and closed the driver side door it stopped

Hey guys had a similar issue with my 2011 silverado 1500 ext cab. Turned off key, opened driver door and dome lights would not come on, radio stayed on and windows still worked. open passenger door and windows stop working as it's designed to but radio stayed on. Replaced door latch in drivers door today but did not fix the problem. After further inspection which requires a little effort, panel already off, pull cover from left kicker panel where hood release is, pull fuse cover, trace harness that enter from door and pull out to where it's only still in door but out of body and pull rubber back. I found a broken in half ground for latch door jamb switch. Hard to re attach so i recomend you attach longer piece of wire to put back together and take off tension. Sense mine was a ground I pulled the wire back through the door and spliced it into the larger ground line behind the speaker

Opened harness behind speaker and spliced

On my 2006 Silverado I had the same problem. The problem in my case is in the door latch assembly. The door latch has a switch inside that tells the system when the door has been opened. When the switch gets dirty inside it doesn't make contact correctly. You can test that it's the door latch that's messing up by pushing the upper part of the latch that moves and locks to the locking bar on the frame, as far up as possible. When you push it up the radio should go off and if the keys are in the ignition then the warning bells should start too. This just tests for a dirty set of contacts. If the switch is broken or if there is a problem with the wiring harness, then this test won't work. If the switch is broken though then the latch would still need to be replaced. The latch assembly for my 2006 is the same GM part# for 2000-2007 Silverados. So it may be the same problem for those as well. I made a video that shows how to replace the door latch assembly in my 06 with a new latch. You can see it here: https://youtu.be/m2szw6IcG90
