Pug 406 radio not turning off - walter plinge
My peugeot 406 has gotten into the nasty habit of not automatically turning off the radio when I take the key out of the ignition. Happens in about 1 in 10 times. The only solution is to restart the car (not just put the ignition on - at least this is how it appears to me) until the stereo on/off button decides to work (usually about three times). Any clues? I can ony guess that there be a loose connection somewhere, but I am not keen on taking the dash / stereo apart just on a whim.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.
Regards,
wally.

Happens in my 406 about once every two months and is always followed the next morning by a flat battery. No idea why, just can't turn it off, no amount of re-starting, fiddling or anything helps. I have to briefly disconnect the battery so everything re-sets.

This happened on my 406 from new. Dealer could not fix but I got ont o Peugeot Customer Services who eventually came up with a fix which they told the dealer & I had to book it in. Sorry, don't now what the fix was.
