2011 SRX radio won't cut of when exiting vehicle


Recommended Posts

Need help to figure out why my radio and navigation screens don't turn off when I turn off my vehicle and exit my driver side door.  They stay on for 10 Mins.  When driver side door is open the dome light does not come on, but does with other doors.  I replaced the door lock actuator and that didn't work.

normal behavior would be for the sound system to stay on until you open a door or for 10 min.  I would start with looking to see if there is a switch to detect when the door is opened that is dirty or non-functional.

The door lock actuator is the part that grabs the car body and keeps it shut. 

I think the switch(s) are inside the actual door handle. The attached picture shows the inside of a CTS exterior door handle....but I think the SRX is either identical or very similar.

Door opens and closes with no problems. But window will not go up or down (Drivers side only) radio  and navigation screen stays on for 10 mins after exiting. Inside light does not turn-on from drivers side door opening but does turn on when passengers door is opened.  Doors lock with remote and unlocks with no issues.

There are no switches in the door actuator. All the switches are in the door handle assembly. The door handle(s) will function fine manually. 

Another possible problem.....there is a rubber boot at the front of the door (of each door).... in between the door and the car body. Sometimes the wires can break inside.
