radio staying on longer after shut off - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My wife noticed the radio stayed on longer after removing the key than it used to on our 06 GMC cc. I thought it may be the door jamb switch for the interior light. I didn't see a jamb switch. Same with my 2000 GMC. So where's the switch?

Mounted on the door latch.

Yeah, I knew it had to be. That's just like a Ranger truck my daughter had a few yrs ago. The replacement switches didn't last no time before it acted up again. Thanks CB.
