Default Retained Accessory Power problem

Problem: 2000 C5 Vert Retained Accessory Power stays on long after removing key and exiting vehicle.

Where do I start looking to find out why the stereo and whatnot stay on?

ok, when you see the car again, check to see if there is a plug on the diagnostic port under the steering column.

Here is their site and they are a forum vendor

its a great add-on for our cars. it lets you open and close your windows with your remote among other things, like the retained acc power


oh and seeing that the car is a vert, the chances are better that it has the window valet. one more thing, another easy way to see if it has the valet is to hit the reset button 3 times with the car off and you should hear a chime 3x's if the unit is installed.
