Ford Transit Connect radio occasionally stays on when driver door is opened after turning off ignition on Ford Transit Connect

Some Ford Transit Connect owners report experiencing issues with the radio staying on after the driver door is opened following the ignition being turned off. This problem may stem from a faulty driver door latch sensor that sends a false signal indicating the door is closed when it is actually open. Some owners have found that replacing the latch assembly can resolve the issue. Additionally, troubleshooting by opening and closing the passenger door may help; if the radio turns off afterward, it suggests a problem with the driver's door latch sensor. In some instances, a broken driver door sensor may prevent the vehicle from recognizing that the driver has exited, keeping the radio on. Cycling the latch with a screwdriver has also been reported to intermittently turn the radio off, indicating a potential fault with the switch. It is advisable for owners experiencing these issues to consider these solutions for diagnosis and resolution.
