Electrical accessories stay on after key is off

Intermittently the interior fan and radio will wither stay on after key is off or turn on by themselves while parked.  A strange solid beep tone can sometimes be heard from around the glove box area and it's not the same tone as the key warning.  Nothing seems to affect a fix; it just stops on it's own.

    When they stay on try opening the passenger door and see if they shut off, I have a good reason for asking, try it and let me know

SOURCE: Interior Lights and Door Ajar light stay w/beeping noise.

Try spraying WD-40 into the door latching mechanism (door side). I learned this fix after two battery replacements, but have only had to spray twice in the more than seven years of ownership

The beeping noise is coming from the airbag module located behind the glove box. It will require a trip to a mechanic to get the issue resolved.

2000 Pontiac Montana van, when I turn the key to the on position, all I get is a service engine soon light, nothing else happens. When I turn the key off, there is a hissing sound and all my gauge needles...

Do you have headlights or other signs that your battery is in good condition other than the radio? Ever hear the hissing before when you shut off the car? Like an interior fan in the a/c? Possibly corroded battery connections or a bad ground in the starting system.

2001 Chev Cavalier blower fan intermittent

The power connection to the fan motor on these is known to overheat and cause a bad connection.The fan motor is above the passengers feet.Next time the fan motor will not come on, switch the selector to high and wack the bottom of the dash above the passengers feet.If the motor does come on at that time,you may need a replacement fan motor and connector.REPLACE the fan speed resistor board when replacing the fan motor,which is right behind the fan motor.
