When you shut the key off the radio will continue to play until the door is opened. Lately it won't even shut off after the door is opened. Close it and reopen and it usually shuts off. Today it wouldn't shut off at all, had to open the back door to make it shut down.

Is there some kind of sensor or switch on the door that's going bad??

I don't know anything about this, so any help is appreciated.

Subscribing . . . mine has done something similar (but not lately). May be the door switch. Next time this happens see if your dome light is on or off. If the dome light is off the switch may be bad or going bad.

Not exactly sure. Usually it's in the door jam somewhere but I don't see one. Waited for interior lights to go off, pulled door handle without opening door and lights did not come on. Barely opened the door and interior lights came on. Has to be hidden somewhere (maybe in door).

My truck does it all the time. If you push up on the door latch everything will shut off like the door was opened. I have to do it almost every time I shut the truck off. I don't know if you can adjust the latch in the jam or not.
