Take the key out and turn steering as now the power steering will lock. The speakers crackle when the volume on radio are very high when you turned off engine and removed key. Try turning radio off first the turn off engine and it should not be a problem.

SOURCE: My Equinox gas cap will not tighten

Does it make a clicking sound as you are turning it? If so turn it until it clicks 3 times. If the cap is bad it will send a signal to the computer and then the check engine light will come on.

Ignition key will not turn on my 2005 chevy equinox

Try turning your steering wheel hard to left or right while trying to turn the key and see if that resolves tour problem. Sometimes if you shut the engine off with the wheels turned the power steering will hold pressure against the steering lock mechanism.

2005 equinox the intermittant power steering issue

The power steering is on this vehicle is electronically assisted. Meaning it does not have a power steering pump. The electric motor could be going out, pulling too much current at times, and tripping the breaker. The best thing to do is take it to the dealer, and have them inspect it.

Radio will not shut off until I open and close another door

The theft light coming on is normal. Also, the radio will stay on for about 10 minutes after the key is removed and you do not open the doors.
