Radio cooling fan won’t shut off

[Pinky in Florida]

I have a 2013 Lacrosse that has a fan behind the radio that doesn’t shut off after ignition is off. Stayed on overnight-pulled radio fuse to stop it. Any suggestions?

It's probably the climate control fan, radios do not use fans. Look in the owners manual for an HVAC fan relay.

There is a feature that will power radio for 10 minutes after car is shut off but should shut down when driver's door is opened. Retained Accessory Power, RAP. Could be related.

I read about that but was unable to find a fuse or switch that could be connected to the RAP
