Honda CRV Radio Won't Turn Off - jasco
The radio on my wife's 2002 Honda CRV 2.0 has developed a fault whereby it does not power off, even when the ignition is switched off and the key removed.
When this happens, nothing will disable it - and the volume/on-off control is inoperable, i.e. turning it does not alter the volume and depressing it does not turn off the power.
The only solution is to disconnect the battery. When the battery is reconnected, and the radio code re-entered, it will work again for a period, and the fault will then recur.
Has anyone encounetred this problem? Is it a fault with the radio, or is it in the car's electrics?
