Radio/CD will not stop
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Suddenly, without any assistance from me(rewiring, pulling modules, etc.), the radio/CD/tape player on my '06 XK8 has continued to function after I turn off the ignition switch,and pull the key. Occasionally it will shutdown only to restart about 5-10 sec. later. I can turn it off with the On/Off/volume knob, but only then.
Is there a module that activates to shutdown the radio when the ignition is turned of? I cannot find any other lights gauges or items that still function after the ignition if off.

Thx. I was hoping not to have to pull the radio. It looks like more 'fun' than I want to engage in right now. I may continue to turn it off/on. I have a GPS/backup camera installed that I was unable to tie to a switched power source. Needs to be turned on/off on each drive. Maybe I will instal and "Start/Stop" checklist to run thru?

What John said... I would check and see if there are other less obvious components that remain on with key out... My next suggestion is going to sound crazy.
I used to get some weird radio behavior after hard rains. What was happening was the speaker wires that run into the doors was carrying 12volts back to the stereo from maybe the light or the window module. Basically a small puddle of water was forming in the bottom of the large screw in/on plastic door connection. In the door jam,,, I think it's called the A pillar... When I opened the connector,,, it was all kinds of corroded in there. Some electrical connection cleaner, a tooth brush and some self vulcanizing tape (to seal it back up) did the trick.

Remarkable that I somehow knew your thoughts? Some say I am psychic. My wife says psychotic.uld be inds will keep watching.
Can the ignition key cylinder be removed. Many U.S. cars had a small hole that a paper clip could be inserted into, allowing the cylinder to slide out for cleaning/lube. Too easy for Jag??

I think it's unlikely to be anything to do with the battery. The stereo is not triggered or controlled in any way by any of the in car computer modules that are so affected by battery voltage. It's a fairly bog-standard head unit. I'm sure the dealer would have checked this out on the wiring diagram (I'm lying, I think it's very doubtful). They'll just keep swapping parts until they find a cure.

I had thought the battery was new when I bought the car( the Used dealer said it was. If you can't believe a Used Car dealer, who can you believe?? A politician???). I told the dealer to go ahead and change the battery to see what that cleared up. Supposedly several items. Now to see if the radio still stays on. I hope the switch/ignition barrel dose not have to be changed.
