Want this question answered?
I had a similar problem with a Pontiac some years back. It was a bad dashboard ground. It may not be it, but I would start there.
Well sometimes the radio is hooked up to the ignition itself. It is just the ignition wire, if it has a disconnecting face plate then you can turn it off by taking the face plate off. Or if you would like, you can pull the radio out and disconnect the wire from the ignition and it will not still be on when you cut the truck off.
IGNITION SWITCH, UR RADIO'S SECONDARY POWER COMES FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH SO WHEN U TURN YOUR CAR OFF THE RADIO AND OTHER ACCESSORIES TURN OFF AS WELL.
As soon as you turn on the ignition, make sure that the radio is off. Turn the ignition switch back off until the display goes off and turn it back on, then just push the hrs or min button to set the time.
Check the ignition switch itself, sounds like it may be the problem.
YOU simply shut off the power switch to the radio and then turn off the ignition switch and when you restart the truck it should come out as long as the radio power is off
You turn on power to the accesories, ie radio, power outlet, etc.
move the steering wheel while attempting to turn ignition key
i have a 2001 mitsubish my radio want come on either
I usually take the key out, turn it, and put it back in ignition to start
turn off the ignition. hold in the odometer reset button and turn on the ignition to on (Not start). Keep holding the button in for about 8 seconds and the millage will come back on. Light should be out.
you pull out the radio and dash cluster and you will have full access to the ignition just turn it over and un clip the wires
