Clock stays on with no key in ignition - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

sexyslidez33 · 03-03-2020, 11:06 PM

I have a 2013 Scion FRS base and the radio started making some weird noises, similar to a CD changed back in the day.

I checked today and noticed my clock stays on even with no key in the ignition.

I disconnected the fuse for the radio so my battery won’t die but this is strange to me. Is something wrong with the radio so it’s feeding power to the clock?

Any help in the right direction would be amazing!

Thank You for the help!

Maybe failed ignition switch? Do a Google search for "clock stays on with no key in the ignition".
Lot's of good threads like this come up: https://repairpal.com/why-does-my-cl...y-ignition-544

More likely car has a ghost though, sell ASAP!

Clock is part of the HVAC system...

I suggest you pull over somewhere safe with a good atmosphere because you may loose environmental controls.

The hazard and seat belt warning still works without the fuse.

But here is a picture of the problem.

Did you try putting the fuse back and see if the power off on reset anything?
The head unit noise is probably a cooling fan going bad. It has been reported as an issue on here before.
Shouldn't impact the clock though.
Does anything else come on when the ignition is off?

Hehe I was thinking the same thing but then I recognized it off my Fiancée's 2013 Impreza. No dual climate controls either? How does he drive with women? I thought the radio was aftermarket for a second but then I noticed it says Scion so maybe that's what the factory radio looked like in 2013? Anyway on a serious note I think it might be time to pull out the old multi-meter...

Also is your shifter actually gated? (Sorry for getting off topic but it's a free bump anyway)
