What is the reason for the Geely Emgrand's center console staying on after the engine is turned off?

It is likely due to an issue with the power supply module of the display screen, which requires timely inspection and repair. Below is relevant information: 1. Geely Emgrand: The Geely Emgrand (abbreviated as Emgrand) is a sub-brand under the parent brand Geely. The new Geely Emgrand was launched on July 26, 2014, equipped with a 1.3T GeTec DVVT turbocharged engine, featuring front-wheel drive, a maximum power of 98kW, turbo intervention at 1800 rpm, and a peak torque output of 185NM at 2000 rpm. 2. Related configurations: In terms of interior, the EC7-RV adopts a unique red and black dual-tone interior, with more eye-catching orange-red decorations on the seats and both sides of the doors, making it appear more dynamic. In terms of power, the 2013 Geely Emgrand EC7 still comes with 1.5L and 1.8L engines. The 1.5L model is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the 1.8L model is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT continuously variable transmission.
I've encountered situations where the center console of an Emgrand stays on after turning off the engine, which is quite annoying. The main reason could be that the car door isn't closed properly, and the door sensor is stuck, making the computer think someone is still in the car. Another possibility is an issue with the ignition switch—the small copper piece inside might be worn out, preventing a complete power cut after turning off the engine. Additionally, the body control module could be faulty, as it manages the logic for cutting power to the entire vehicle. Short circuits in the wiring are also a common cause, especially in cars with aftermarket installations like reverse cameras or dash cams, where the insulation might be damaged and grounding occurs. When the battery is low on charge, the control module can also behave erratically. I recommend first checking if all doors are properly closed, removing the key, and locking the car to see if that helps. If not, you'll need professional equipment to read the fault codes.
