Stereo LED lights won't turn off

[Joel Jay]

Has anyone else had this occur on their trac? I only noticed it last week. I turn my truck off, lock it up, and I notice my stereo LED lights stay on...just that very faint green glow, along with the drivers side and passenger side auto lock buttons. I've played with all my lighting/dimmer switches, but it doesn't turn off. It's only in the last two weeks or so that I've noticed this/ that it has seemed to be occuring.



Help would be GREAT before I start digging in the back of my stereo/fuses....



Frustrated in Calgary...

I know the power door lock buttons will remain illuminated for 20 minutes or so. I asked

my Ford dealer about this and they said it had something do do with a safety feature.

Works through the BCM, like your map and courtesy lights, and radio timer with the

key off, so you can listen to the rest of a song, or whatever, before you open your door

and after removing your key from the ignition,before the power completely shuts off.

The radio LEDs, not sure. Never had that happen in mine while I still had the factory

stereo in it?!?!:unsure:

wait about 20 minutes or so and go back and see if they are still on

I guess I should have mentioned that....they stay on indefinately...they don't go off. This just started in the last couple weeks or so. I had an after market alarm put in 11 months ago and everything has worked fine...but I notice that when I arm the alarm, as it is suppossed to do my lights flash once...and I watched close and noticed a flicker in the stereo backlight...I'm wondering if they somehow powered the alarm, or connected a wire to the stereo, or a wire in the back is touching something it shouldn't. I would take it back to where I had it done and ask them, unfortunately that was in Vancouver, and I now live in Calgary.



Ah well...guess I gotta start diggin around and trouble shooting...
