On my 2010 GMC Acadia the radio does not shut off when key is removed and driver door is open...why?

What more details do you need? Ongoing problem. Sometimes it works, but most often it doesn't.

    The dashboard lights and radio will not shut off in my when the key is removed in my 2009 GMC Acadia. This has happened to me multiple times but the service department can never duplicate the problem when I take my vehicle in for service. It is extremely odd that all of the lights stay on even after I've removed the key, left the vehicle, closed the door and locked it. Has anyone else ever experienced this and if so do you have any recommendations for getting it fixed? I am really getting annoyed with the multiple issues that I've had with this vehicle since I purchased it.

Try spraying contact cleaner to your on/off sw., turn the sw. on & off 5 or 6 times, also try spraying the door button sw.

First of all...does your truck have the retained accessory power (RAP)? If it does, the radio would always stay on with the key off until you open the drivers door. If it does have RAP and the door pin on the drivers door has went bad, then the truck doesn't know that you opened the door and continues to allow accessory power (although it would still cut off after about 20 minutes). If the interior lights come on when you open the door, then the pin is ok. If the lights come on, it could be the RAP relay. If it has gone bad, it is possible it is stuck supplying power and needs replacing. The relay should be labeled in the fuse panel, and there should be other relays in the panel with the same part number. You can swap a relay for the RAP relay and see if it fixes the problem...if it does fix it swap the relays back and replace the RAP relay. If the truck doesn't have RAP then it is possible the problem is in the radio..if you have a friend with a GM car or truck close to the same year you could swap radios and see if that fixes your problem...should be pretty simple. pull the cover off the dash, it just clips on, take out a couple screws that hold in the radio, unplug it and plug in the other radio. sorry so long winded...hope this helps you somewhat.

SOURCE: Acadia Interior Door Panel Removal

You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. If needed, you can pull back the weather seal (can't reuse it, but it's not that important) and you will be able to access everything inside the door

Could be the latch mechanism for the door is sticking. You could try using some white grease on the latch and the contact where the latch hooks to. You can purchase the grease from most auto parts stores. You will not need to use alot. Just apply a small amount to the mechanisim and then work it in using the manual handle. Then open and close the door several times to feel the "action". Then apply a little more and repeat. This should loosen the latch and get it working again. Also make sure that none of the tension springs have come loose on the latch. And check the seal around the door and make sure it is not pinched and has a proper fit.

I have a GMC Acadia 2010 and when I turned off the SUV the radio don't turn off

has it always been this way, as some vehicle's do have this ridiculous system , some go off when the ignition key is removed completely , if this is a new issue i'd think the ignition switch could be the issue, as not cutting power off completely, so i'd start with getting the ign switch checked out

Where is the cigarette lighter fuse on a 2010 gmc acadia

you open the driver side door and there should be a fuse box and you open that and look on the fuse box door and it should have a list of the fuses and look for cigarette lighter but it will most likely be abbreviated and it should show a number on the fuse door and the box and if it doesn't show that fuse there is another fuse box in the engine and will most likely be on the top and one thew side of the engine

Why doesn't the radio shut off even when key is removed and driver door is opened?

My Guess is that radio is not the original one. They didn't connect the right wire that goes to your ignition switch. (acc power on) Hope that helps.
