Dash lights

That is just like a 2005 buick century, and it is normal. When you open the driver's door, the radio turns off. Does yours turn off too?

Radio on chrysler 300 won't shut off when key is turned off. When i open the door the radio shuts off.

This is actually normal. There is a option in the menu on the dash to turn this off and on

Dash lights will not shut off until I lock the door on my porsche boxster

That's normal, but they should turn off after a couple minutes. Are they staying on longer than that?

Turn key off on a 200 jetta and the engine stays running. Pop clutch to kill and the dash stays lit. Turn key back and the steering wheel locks like normal.

Key switch is defective. Very common on this model. Some of them won't start. Dealer item only unless you go to a junkyard. Hope this helps. Good luck

After changing battery in my 1999 porsche boxster radio wont work

You need to recover the radio's serial number to decode the 4 digit radio key. The full process and decoder is available here: Porsche Boxster: Online Lost Radio Code Recovery Tool

04' Ford FreeStar - The Radio Stay On When Van Is Off

Nothing wrong with it. When you remove the key, it stays on for about 20 minutes. It gives you time to finish listening to your radio and roll up the window. Once the driver door is open, everything shuts off or if 20 minutes has passed.

Dashboard lights will not turn off

Pull it back out, (Radio) and recheck your steps. Something is not hooked up right. When you pull it back out, See if it goes back working normal. Retrack the wires. You cut are hook up something wrong????
