85 Rdio Issue
I have a 1985 that has a radio issue.
The radio in it is a Delco Bose original. The radio stays on after the car is shut off and the key is removed. There is also power on the pink wire to the amplifier relay which is keeping the amp on, even i
f I manually shut the radio off. The interior lights work like they are supposed too. After exiting the car the interior lights will go out.
I have hunted in vain trying to find a wiring diagram.
Can anyone help me figure out what is happening. Relay somewhere or maybe a bad radio. This Vette only has 36,000 miles on it.
Thanks So Much
Jim

Next time "radio stays on with key off and removed", try the windshield wipers. If the wipers also work with key off, there is power on the key switch brown ACCY circuit wire. If the wipers do NOT also stay powered, I would suspect the radio itself.
You could also try pulling RADIO fuse when it stays on. If the radio stays on with the RADIO fuse pulled, then pull CTSY fuse. Radio should now turn off. If this sequence = YES, I would suspect the radio itself.
