i have a 96 cavalier and i now have a strange wireing problum with it as of yesterday out of nowhere when i shut off my car my radio stays on i even pulled the fuse and it was still on now i have to disconect my bat to shut it off and on top of that im having trouble with my anti theft system. i dont know much when it comes to the wireing of the car so if anyone can help me with one of these that would be great

 

Is the anti theft system an aftermarket one, or a factory one?
If it is an aftermarket one, whoever installed it may have mixed some wires up

 

It is factory. People I've talked to said change the gauge face. Will that fix it?

 

There are 2 power circuits for radios. One is the power from the switch that goes on and off when you turn the key. The other is always on to keep the memory in the radio so that you don't lose your clock time and radio presets when the radio is off. Maybe the radio has an internal short and that is why it is staying on.

 

Well the radio is a pos lol ill look into that I'm getting a new one anyway. Thank you
