Radio not turning off

[dr904]

My radio won't turn off at all. The car can be turned off and locked, but the radio will continue to play. I removed the fuse as a temporary fix. Does anyone have a possible solution?!

Welcome to NICO. What’s your vehicle? The problem could be the switch, especially if it’s a push button on/off switch like most modern electronic devices use now, but also might be an internal short circuit. I’ve had switches not turn on, but I guess it could go the opposite way too. You didn’t say, but if it’s stock equipment, either way, unfortunately it would probably be cheaper to replace the whole unit if it's not under warranty. I picked up a used OEM radio for my ’01 altima for about $100 & installed it myself. This was 6 years ago & it's still works. The car was out of warranty & the stealership wanted around $400 to repair, plus it had to be sent out which they said would take “several weeks”. Maybe they were it sending to Japan.

It's an 08 3.5 coupe. It's all stock. No way I'd change anything to the Bose system haha. I removed the fuse and it still flickers but that could be because I left 2 other fuses and only removed the main one
