Gen III radio question.

[Craig Van Buren]

Whenever I'm listening to my radio/CD player/Tape player in my car I tend to turn it off before I shut the car off. But on a couple of rare occasions that I haven't I'd shut the car off and the radio/CD player/Tape player would still paly for about 8 or 9 seconds. Is this normal or a problem? Please any other Gen II owners out there let me know. I'm sure this isn't a warning sign of the cam faliure, but it might be something. Thanks in advance.

The Gen III will play the radio for a few seconds after turning the ignition switch to the off position. It is normal.

Don't know about the radio or tape player but my cd will shut off when I turn the key off. But this may be because I have the antenna switched and it is seldom on.

Maybe on the 99, but my 97 dont.

Mine either, key off, radio off (tape or cd too)
All off, amps included, and I can visually confirm it.

My 98 will play the radio till the antenna is retracted. Usually 3-4 seconds after i turn the ingnition off.

Isn't that interesting! My '98 shuts down both as soon as the key is off, though I do get to hear the motor retracting the antenna. Not exactly music, but sound. Of course, I say that about a fair amount of 'music'.
