Installed stock navi - won't turn off with ignition??

[gslice]

I took a working Navigation unit from the junk yard and put it in my 08 SEL to replace the basic radio (it was a simple plug and play) and it won't turn off with the ignition.

 

The unit power up and down & tested fine in the car it came from. Is there some relay or wire swap that has to be done in order for the navigation unit to work?

It will turn off(key out of ignition) when you open a door/or 5 to 10 minutes after the key is removed from the ignition

Hi gslice. :D As 07Crush stated, our cars have a 10 minute "accessory delay" feature. This feature allows the radio, power windows etc, to be operated for 10 minutes (or until a door is opened) after the key has been turned to the "off" position, That is most likely the cause of your "issue".

 

If it is not the accessory delay, then there is a deeper issue, but it would be difficult to diagnose that over the Internet, since this was a simple "plug-n-play" swap, so no wires were cut/spliced.

 

Check to see if it is actually the "accessory delay" you are experiencing (almost certainly is), and let us know.

 

Good luck. :beerchug:

Thanks for the followups! No all other dome lights etc go off. I've pulled it for now but noticed a funny behavior today. It refused to start while I was out. Battery and alternator were putting out proper voltages and after knocking around under the hood it started. I think I might have a sticky relay problem somewhere.
