Vauxhall Vectra B Estate 2.2 TDCDI 51 plate - dashboard lighting prob - maidstone dave

The radio has suddenly packed up (10 amp fuse is ok ). Its not showing in the illuminated display and the CD player has power going to it. Now here's the funny thing. at night when you turn off the lights, the illuminations to the radio and the steering wheel remain lit and I've just discovered they are staying on all the time (24/7). Any brilliant leccies out there who can "throw some light on this" please?

Pull the radio out to see if this kills the lights to the steering wheel.Also some radios have a 10amp fuse clipped into the rear of the unit,near the iso connector.Could be a faulty radio.Not uncommon on vauxhalls.hth
