The radio on my 1997 Suburban won't turn off (ignition off - key out). Therefore it runs the battery down. I pulled the fuse to avoid draining the battery. Any ideas you have would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Brad

Is it a factory radio or is it aftermarket?

It is the factory am-fm, cassette w/CD.

It is one of the normal problem there is with factory GM radios

You can most likely get it repaired at a TV/VCR shop or just go to the wreckers and get another one or even just upgrade to an aftermarket deck
