just bought a 1998 tahoe 2dr 4x4..and for some reason my radio doesnt shut off even with the keys out of the ignition and the doors shut...i can turn the radio off but it still illuminates the clock so it doesnt fully shut off anyone know how i can fix this so it doesnt run down my battery?

welp it was buggin me so i went outside to mess around with it and got it fixed...come to find out once u crank the vehicle the ignition doesnt have to be off for you to pull the key out...so when i turned the ignition back instead of stopping for all power to be off i was actually switching it all the way back to the accessory switch so therefore the radio still worked...if that makes any sense

Sounds like your switch is going south on you. You shouldn't be able to pull your key in the accessory mode.
