Missmoore Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Hi, when I switch my car off the radio won't switch off automatically so I have to do it manually and the audio display panel light stays on constantly even when the cars been off for hours. Anyone got any advice for me please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojariggs Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Has it been like this for a long time or has it just started doing this? If it's always done it, it's because it's not been wired through the ignition and is effectively connected directly to the battery. It does no harm providing you remember to turn it off so you don't run your battery down. Fix it by removing the stereo and wiring it through the ignition. How easy or difficult ths is depends of how much of a bodge was done when the stereo was installed. If it's recently started doing this then you most likely have developed a wiring fault or a fault with the stereo that is bypassing the ignition connection. Fix this by removing the stereo and checking the wiring. Again, exacly what will be needed won't be clear until the wiring or head unit is examined.

Missmoore Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Just started today, it's on a mk7 fiesta with the built in radio panel thingy so can't take it out either. The whole audio display section lights won't go off aswell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojariggs Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I presume it's still under warranty? Get it booked in for them to check it out. Cheers Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrittas Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Sorry to resurrect an old topic but my partners Fiesta mk7 was suffering from exactly this issue. As a temporary fix I accessed the passenger compartment fuse box (behind the glove box) and removed and then immediately replaced fuse 20 (multifunction display fuse). This reset the radio display and allowed me to turn it off, therefore temporarily fixing the issue and allaying any concerns about draining the battery. Hope that helps someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danroberts1985 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 i had this problem develop today, as stated i removed fuse 20 and that sorted the issue. i hope that this isnt the start of electrical gremlins.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trewithy Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 When I switch the engine off the radio will stay on, but when I open the door to get out the radio automatically cuts out. When I get back into the car the radio comes back on when the key is turned to the ignition position. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwaynezsfez Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hello I’ve had the same issue tonight and I have just taken the fuse out as I don’t listen to it much anyway will this be ok ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert 02 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 After my stock radio would not turn off, and it all hay wire with popping and craziness, I bought a new after market radio. My battery keep dieing tried to find the problem no luck. Paid a electrical shop to troubleshoot it. Said it was radio. Hmm, NO. Without the key turned on power is not supposed to go to radio. Looked into it more found out a delay relay may be bad. My car didn't have one. Looked at the next relay power accessories behind the glove box. Changed it with an alternate relay found on amazon. Problem fixed, been 3 weeks no dead battery and radio turns off when car is off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac9198 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Robert, can you list the ford part number of the relay you replaced? 9L2Z14N089A or similar (original part that went bad, not the replacement.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hi Sheianna, welcome to the Ford Owners Club. Sounds like a bit of hic-up in the BCM (Body Control Module). Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and leave it off for half an hour. Reconnect and I expect things will return to normal.

Calvin100 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 When' radio is not turning off you should connect you're phone to the car bluetooth try to.... call someone and then hang up. If this doesn't work' you should go and see the car auto electric. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted evening Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I encountered this same issue with the radio not turning off, after i removed and replaced a number of 7.5A fuses (to fix cruise control- which worked, although i'm still sure which fuse it is. Problem with this was i dropped a fuse, and while i found it i forgot which slot it had come out of, in the end i basically guessed. bad move, battery dead next day and radio not turning off problem. This is a 2011 fiesta Mk6 with (i now know) "Passenger Compartment Fuse Box (Type 2; Europe)". For me, the solution was moving the fuse from position 4 to position 18. If it happened to you without touching the fuses, could be an issue there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 @Luke4efc - I think this is just a wind-up thread full of One Post Wonders, who like to join post and never come back, I wonder if they had to pay £5 to make their first post just how many of the time wasters would be willing to pay? 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashiq Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Most likely its the bluetooth connect your phone and ring somebody, after you hang up switch your car off and it should work. Happened to me twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I still do not understand a single word. What is a 'chennelizer' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stukford Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Nobody have watched "Back to The Future...", oh still found that's a different translation from the movie. In original was flux capacitor, but in other languages become flux channelizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
