    wtf? OBC and stereo stay on after turning off car

    Ok guys just changed out the alternator in the car and for some odd reason even after I turn off the car the OBC and radio stay on. Check panel lights are also on. :?

    Also the drivers side will not lock for some reason. Key will not turn it. Could this be a bad key or ignition tubmbler? Anyone think they might be tied in together?

    Need help this area is high crime and I have to keep the car unlocked all night and the battery disconnected obviously to turn off the OBC and check engine lights.

    Fixed the key problem. 8) Now does anyone have any idea why power is still on to the stereo and brake lights after the key is removed? :(

      Are all your wires connected the right way ?

      it looks like your stabilizer won't close or something :?

        Sounds like a tired ignition switch to me -

          Hmmm now how do you go about checking the ignition switch? Or is it time for a replacement? Will try that when I get home this evening.

              How did you fix the drivers door lock? Mines doing the same thing.

                just played with the pin a bit. Pushed down on it and it worked.

                  Your problem with the radio staying on is probably a bad diode in the hazard flasher switch. Unplug the switch to verify. Don't leave it unplugged...the turn signals don't work without it.
