Default How to turn off radio with doors off

I ran down to the auto parts store and picked up a momentary switch, slip connectors and wire taps. Just find a spot you want your switch and just tape the wires to the 2 wires on the connector inside the jeep. probably took me a hour just because i was in no rush. easy project and now i can just hit this switch on my way out and everything turns off ( radio and instrument cluster)!!

Why not just walk away and the radio will turn off after 30 seconds? Lol

Why not just push the button on the radio? Or enjoy your entrance theme music for 30 sec.

... and someone is always like "hey man your radio is still playing!", and usually it's about the 25 second mark, so I say "no it's not!" and it's cuts off!

Classic.

I came out like a hour later and the instument cluster and the radio were still on. so this was my fix, and so anyone else that may want to know how to get it to turn off completely.

Take it in or scan for a code. That isn't normal operation. OR You might have been a subject of alien abduction...any pains where there shouldn't be? (just kiddin')
