VE Commodore SV6
Hi guys, I have a VE commodore (07) and having some issue with my centre console/radio playing up and sometimes leaves me with a dead battery. People have told me it’s a common problem with VE’s and mostly a door actuator problem, which led me to fit a genuine door lock actuator from Holden but sadly did not fix the problem.
Problem: Centre console would still be on even when i open the driver’s door with the key out, the radio cut’s off but the light (where the date and time? Is shown on centre console) stays on. Some have told me that it stays on for 5 minutes so i waited for about 20 minutes with the car locked but it did not turn off.
I been having this issue for months now the only way i do to turn it off is by taking the key out, opening the driver’s door and trigger the starter motor and quickly turn it off.

Please help..

Is your interior light on or off?Make sure it is on (i mean when doors open it should come on)

Early VE's had issues with modules staying awake and draining the battery. Software update corrects this.
