Radio stays on after key out and door open

[Snichols243]

I havent done a whole lot of research yet but when I turn my truck off the radio stays on like it used to but when I open the door the radio stays on, the dome lights come on but the radio doesnt shut off like its supposed to. Plus the door dinger stopped working, door can be open with key in and no dinger. This just started today. Got an 2007 silverado classic lbz. Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

My old 04 1500 did it and my 07 classic I have now does it every once and awhile but I haven't tried to figure it out yet. But I do know you can open another door and it'll go off


Roll Tide!

Mine does random combinations of lights/ chime/ radio working or not working like they should. When one or more doesn't shut off, I just open the back door and that does the trick.

 

[Snichols243]

Well I can open any door and nothing shuts it off, right now I got the battery cables unhooked trying to maybe reset something....

my dually does the same thing occasionally, think it is the door switch in the locking mechanism. I usually just open the rear door and it shuts off.

Mine does it once in a while and have found if I just click the key back on it will turn off.

I'm gonna stop and pick up a new door lock actuator tomorrow and see if that does it and report back.:thumb:

Door switch,bcm:dontknow:

door switch is built into the actuator.....I'll try the 30 dollar part before a BCM.

More likely to be actuator, or it would do it everytime.

Probably the low blinker fluid

Mine does that sometimes too. I can fiddle with the little latch part (the part that closes around the striker), and it will turn off.

Subscribed, mine works a little odd compared to my 2007 NBS gasser

Park to shutdown key in off position; remove key radio stays on until door opens

Park to shutdown key in off position; leave key in ignition, open door remove key radio stays on even after closing door and hitting the FOB to lock

Mine did that.. it ended up being the ignition switch.

Mine has done that a couple of times.

Same with mine, I have lubed it. Usually does better for about a week and then progressively worse.

my 01 was doing the same thing, open any door and it still stayed on. it got bad enough though that the radio would randomly turn off and wouldn't turn back on for a while. it ended up being a bad radio.

 

[Snichols243]

I hope thats not the case, its a 300$ radio lol

If you do a google search for "radio wont shut off when door is opened", you will find a pretty surprising trend with GM vehicles doing this.

I picked up the switch 20 minutes ago (came to 47 bucks with tax), gonna tear into it around 330 ish when i get off work. I'll take some pics of it.

What switch did you purchase?

 

[jmaz268]

What switch is it?

Lock actuator switch. It has 2 wiring connections, and an arm that is springloaded (soft spring) with a rubber bumper looking thing on it that sences when the door is opened. Over time, grease/roadgrime build up and it doesn't release.

A few other issues I seen listed were the pins in the wiring broke free and no longer made contact.

I'll be thouroughly cleaning everything. You have to take off the door panel and remove the actual locking mechanism to change it. So be a good time to clean and regrease everything.+
