HELP: Radio staying on after car is off and driver door is open Hello guys..
Ive got a 2002 z28 seeking help with a small problem but i dont know what is causing it..
When i turn off the car take the key out and open the driver door the radio clock and anything else electronic that is supposed to turn off stays on..

The radio (and a few other things) are supposed to stay powered up when the car is turned off for 10 minutes or until a door opens. Sounds like the door switch broke, and the car doesn’t recognize when the drivers door opens. The fact that it recognizes the passenger door opening proves that it’s not a wiring issue.
No idea how you’d go about replacing it though, I believe it’s built into the door latch mechanism. Maybe take a look inside the door latch and see if anythings stuck in there or looks broken? Maybe even try spraying some WD40 in there too.
