Radio Stays on After Shutting off Ignition

Googler

I found only one other reference to this. A few days ago, the radio in
my 2003 Baja has been staying on for a few seconds after I shut
everything off with the ignition key. It is the stock radio and I hope
this is not a sign that something is starting to go wrong. Has anyone
else had this happen to them?
 
Normal operation. The radios power supply has capacitors that hold up
voltage for a few seconds after turnoff. ed
 
If it is normal operation for the radio to stay on why did it just
start happening after two years?

It took that long for the capacitor to charge up? :)

Sorry, I have no idea.

A couple of times in my '03 Forester, the radio failed to come on but came
back when I turned off the ignition and turned it back on. I figured there
was something twitchy about the switch. Not a serious enough problem to
bring to dealer's attention since it has not happened again in months.
