Hmmmm.....so it has been working now it's not, try resetting your deck. There is a post above about it, other than that I'm not really sure what it could be. But the only way your deck could stay on without the key in is if the deck was getting power. That tells me that it's not the deck, it's a wiring problem somewhere in the car.

:huh: wierd...check your power wires....maybe you've got your +12v constant switched with the +12v ACC wire

It might also be a bad ignition switch, causing the accessories positon to stay on.

I have seen a few decks go bad and actually feed power back through themselves through the constant 12volt wire. Take your deck out but leave the harness plugged up and see if your 12v ignition wire is getting power with your car off. If it isnt you have a bad head unit.

Another idea is to disconnect the power wire from the deck and test it with a voltometer, if that wire is getting power with the key off you can find a wire to use that doesn't have power when the key is off.

It's the ignition switch. I have the same intermittent problem.
