perplexing problem
Lately when I turn the ignition off and pull the key out the radio keeps playing and the warning ding ding ding goes off when I open the door, and you can't lock the door with the key fob. Seems to quit after a few minutes.
Did I do something to make this happen ? HELP!!!!
148000 miles and this is my only problem, not bad.
Thanks
Gordon

I know Kauai is a long ways away, but wow.. that's a lot of miles for an 05.
As far as your problem, I wouldn't know what it could be, I just wanted to comment on your miles. but..... I would try to jiggle the key to see what happens.. I would also time the cut off duration to see if it was constant or random.
If you got a short, it'll drain the batteries if left in the driveway for long periods of time.. apparently that doesn't happen....
My DC minivan has a cut off delay for the radio, but it immediately turns off when the door is open.

Sounds like a short in the counsel. I would take it in before you have a dash fire. It maybe something as simple as a wire rubbing somewhere. Finding it maybe fun.
As for the miles. These guys have no idiea how many miles one can rack up when your driving for a livin. The mans a hot shot driver & works his truck daily, probably racks up 500 miles or more a day. I know I average 400 miles a day in my tanker.

I appreciate all of your help. I don't think that it can be termites because I had the Orkin man out to spray for roaches in the truck and check for termites, none where found. I am going to take it to the dealer when I get time.(It takes a while to row a 3500 across the ocean). I will let you know what they find.
Update: 149394 miles on the old girl, its been a slow week.
