[QUOTE="ORVietVet, post: 25814, member: 9438"] At the moment, I have a very intermittent problem. At times, when I have the radio on and shut the engine off and then open door, with key out, the radio will not shut off automatically as the door opens. I suspect the ignition switch but am also aware that it could be the driver's door latch/actuator or maybe even wiring in between, in the umbilical cord in the door hinge area. Last night it did the problem long enough that the door was open, key out and radio still on and I wiggled the umbilical cord with no difference. I had a rubber mallet and tapped pretty hard at the latch area and at the ignition switch area with no change and then all I did was close door, installed key and started engine, shut engine off and removed key and opened door and the radio then went off. I know I have not replaced the latch before and am forgetful about the ignition switch. Thankfully, I have always been able to get the radio to eventually shut off with a couple cycles. The interior light is something I know about and since in daytime, I had not looked. No excuse, just reason I did not look. I will check passenger door as well. Unsure how my p/s door effects/works. I have a Live Data/Bi-Directional scanner that I can attach and look for problems. [/QUOTE]
