I just noticed it yesterday.

The only thing I have done is added the Bluestar 2010 module to it.

Anybody have any suggestions?

I went threw the owners manual but found nothing on the topic.

 

The problem will go away when you install that Ebay BT onstar module!

So your radio is staying on now despite the key being out of the ignition and the door open?

 

No

Before yesterday, I would turn off my truck and the radio would stay on untill I opened the door.

Now it is turning off when I turn the truck off.

 

 

Is there a door switch for this? Maybe the door switch is sticking.

The OP's problem is related to the aftermarket BT module that will hopefully be replaced soon.

 

Your problem sounds like you did not wire in the RAP (retained accessory power) to your system which retains the power for 10 mins or when you open your driver's door. The RAP should go to the amp turn on lead and the radio power as well. I can get the wire color / connector if you would like. Your installer should have taken care of this. I hope they didn't butcher your factory wiring. There are several good aftermarket interface units to power amps from factory units. I ran one from PAC audio before switching out my head unit for one that had built in USB and SD capability.

In my truck the radio turns off with the key out and when the driver door is opened, but it does not turn the radio off when the passenger door is opened. Does everyone else have the same experience or do I have an electrical problem also?

 

Sorry don't mean to high-jack the thread but it is kind of related.

 

Normal function.

Well just to let everybody know!

I installed my OEM bluetooth module over a week ago but since my truck stays in the garage all week except on weekends.

I noticed yesterday that the radio finally is staying on like before. I guess it take a while for it to go back to the way it was. :lol::lol::lol:

check the RAP (Retained Accessory Power) fuse to see if it has blown...sometimes this is all it may be..if it is still good, unplug and replug the module to see if that fixes the issue.

 

 

How do you locate this module? My radio shuts down as soon as the key is turned off. Unlike other GM products that I have owned, the radio does not continue to play until the drivers door is opened.

I have an 03 Sonoma with the same issue. When I get in the truck, close the door and start it the dome light does not turn off as it used to. Also, when I turn the truck off the radio and windows stop working. I was not aware of a RAP fuse tied to them and I will check it. If that is not it, is it an easy thing to replace the BCM?

Hmm, that is a weird design if I must say. Thanks for the reply though Peter.

Not really that weird. That way your passenger can get in or out without turning the radio and accessories off. It only matters when the driver gets out.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
