Does anybody have any idea why my radio and heater would stay on after I turn the truck off? Thanks.

Ignition switch gone bad.

Mine has a sweet spot where the engine turns off but the heater and radio stay on. I just slightly turn the key towards off until the engine quits.

Sounds like yours is STUCK there.

I'll try that. Does anyone have any other ideas? A mechanic told me it could possibly be the crash sensor...does that make any sense? It doesn't really to me but what do I know.
