Electronics stay on

[sirhcmiller]

When I turn my car off: my radio, nav, and lights all stay on. They won't turn off even if I lock my car. Anybody have any idea what's wrong?

Even after you open the door?

[sirhcmiller]

Yep. I even locked the car, and it continued to play. I had a dead battery this morning trying to get to work. I manually closed the nav and turned off the radio and lights. It happened about a week ago, but eventually turned off. I was hoping it would this time too, but I guess it never did.

The lights when on auto would stay on a little while. But other stuff shouldn't. Would ask the dealer probably.

Anything recently done to the car...like a stereo install???

[sirhcmiller]

I have subs, but I've had them since January. I also have an automatic start, but I've had that for 2 years.

Thanks guys

did you check fuses? maybey a fuse burned out but didnt actually sever its connection... also try taking out the cig/lighter and Acc power fuses and see if the problem still happens.

also after market radio's "memory wire/always on 12v" could have a problem...

those are just my quick thoughts... hope that helps

[sirhcmiller]

Thanks man. I'll try that next time!

your automatic/remote start would be the most likely culprit. Have the shop that installed it take a look.
