radio on/off by ignition

[Fr33m4s0n]

i just bought my SV6 this week, and have the same problem.

- Turn off ignition, radio still plays.... open door and it turns off
- Turn off ignition, radio still plays.... open door but doesnt turn off...
- open door, close door, open door again and it turns off
- open door, close door x10 but still doesnt turn off

the above are the different scenario's im getting... there doesnt seem to be a pattern.

might play around in the 'customize settings' menu tonight, will post back findings.

Probably an intermittently malfunctioning door switch.

Probably an intermittently malfunctioning door switch.

That is what i was thinking.

Probably an intermittently malfunctioning door switch.

Yup, just did some more testing, and noticed the "Car Door Open" dash light doesnt come on when i open the door.... hence the car thinks my door is still shut and keeps playing the radio.

It stays stuck 4/5 times i open the door.

I couldnt really see where the door switch was, anyone know ? got pics ?

 

[RiCeY]

Door switch is part of the latch/actuator assembly and not serviceable seperately.

Same here, flat battery pending... firstly what was your immediate fix so it doesn't euthanise itself and is there another alternative to wty job at stealership?

 

[RiCeY]

The alternative is paying for the repair as opposed to being fixed for free under warranty.

Blast!! I got the WD40 nozzle ready for to baste the bugger in battle too (wherever it is)!
Thanks for early reply, sticky trigger switch does trip after 4/5 opens, looks a bit like I have OCD but it's off to skewer the miserable stealership on t'morrow... Gangway!

can some one please put up a picture of this 'latch' or so cause i cant find it and its driving me crazy! haha thanks in advance

I would have thought the 'latch' is the catch or lock mechanism. Thats the bit that holds the door closed!
