If the radio turns off when the ignition is not on, it could be due to a design feature that prevents battery drain when the vehicle is off. Many modern vehicles are equipped with systems that automatically cut power to accessories like the radio when the ignition is turned off. Alternatively, it could indicate a faulty wiring connection or a problem with the vehicle's electrical system. Checking the owner's manual or consulting a mechanic may help diagnose the issue further.
It sounds like a wire short some where.
sounds like you have a broken ignition wire between ignition switch and fuse box
The ignition turns the car's electrical system on or off, in addition to starting the engine.
Your ignition timing is WAY off.
Occasionally my 200 Malibu does something similar...engine turns off, but radio stays on, etc. Make sure you a really in PARK to get the accessories to turn off.
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.
The radio time would stay on if you had the keys in the ignition but the ignition was only turned halfway.
my stereo turns itself off
The radio should go off when you open the door to get out. Maybe a relay?
It turns off just fine in MY 03 passat.
To reset the radio on a 1992 Mercedes 300E, start by turning the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine. Next, press and hold the "Power" button on the radio until it turns off, then release it. Afterward, press the "Power" button again to turn the radio back on. If the radio requires a code, input the code using the preset buttons.
