If your speaker functions properly, but you hear static and pops when the stereo is turned off, replace the relay. Mid America sells 'em for $16.99

the relay is a generic relay... you don't have to spend $17.00 from MAD and another $8.00 for S&H.

I just don't remember where it hides...

Not a big job to replace relay, you leave the old one in and just let the new one hang..you get to it behind the right side center dash information panel
