CTS radio won't turn off

Radio won't turn off after ignition is switched off and the door is opened. I was reading that it might be a bad BCM relay but there are 7 of them in the front fuse box. Any suggestions on how to diagnose and fix the problem?

SOURCE: I put key in ignition and it won't turn. Steering wheel will turn but key won't turn. We have 2 keys and neither will work. What can I do?

If the wrong key was inserted it may have bent a tumbler pin,maybe try some wd-40 or similar and work it with the right key,might drop the tumbler back,,if not the whole ign. cylinder will have to be changed

SOURCE: i have no power to my radio. where is the fuse located for it?

I personally have not had this problem but if you look in your owners manual there will be a section that will tell you exactly where and what fuses and the size of them do as well as the relays and there jobs as well. also in the fuse block there should be a little pare of tweezers and spare fuses or you can take the blown fuse to any auto parts and they will be able to give you the right good fuse if problem persists check and see if something is stuck like cd or a blown speaker hope this helps good luck

The antenna plugs in to the back of th radio. it could have came loose and fallen out. When you pull the radio and if the anteena is secure in it, then you have lost the receiver in the radio, very rare, Replace the radio at this ppoint.

How about when the radio is on & the key is off or
in your hand,if you open either front door does the radio go off
& do you lose the delayed window feature assuming you have that
If so you problem is a delayed accy relay
Next would be the front door switches
I will give you credit for what you tried
but fail to see why you would switch motor
from door to door,they work powered directly or they don't
I would think your battery would have gone dead by now
if the relay failed to time out or go to sleep

Interior lights stay on wile i'm driving my 2005 lincoln navigator

Only one bad door switch should do that

The 20 min time out is the GEM or Body Module,
which is normal only because you have a bad switch,
otherwise it goes to sleep when either front door opens

Put radio on & open a door,the radio should go off
& kill the time delay if no issues exist

You don't find much with the door jamb switches any longer. Its all done inside the door with the switches being on the door latch.
the radio should still be able to be turned off manualy ;)

I have a 2000 pontiac sunfire an the radio seems to stay on even when the car us turned completely off. What does that mean because it keeps killing my battery.?!

The most likely answer is that your vehicle's door pin switches aren't working. When you open the driver's door, does your dome light turn on? Your radio works with the vehicle's data bus to stay on until the door is opened; if the system can't tell that the door has been opened, then it won't turn off. The door pin switch should be mounted at the front of the door opening.

2005 Cadi CTS Radio Pre-Sets

1988 CADI Eldorado Biarritz, 4.5 liter v8: locked keys in car, called locksmith he put inflatable air bags in door to stretch 4 space to slide his crooked metal stick in and reach pull the handles, push electric door lock button/switch and manually but doors would not open. He than pulled the keys out of ignition and out the crack. Guess what, both doors sounded like they unlocked with the key but would not open. Is there some kind of anti theft protection that kicks in when you mess the doors and locks inside? Help, I have my keys but car doors will not open. Did stretching or forcing doors open a bit with these airbags possible cause damage?
