Why does my Silverado radio not turn off?

The radio on my ’05 Silverado will no longer turn off when the RAP (retained accessory power) feature times out or when a door is opened. ( Have tried all four) There must be a relay for this feature but I can’t find a reference to show where it’s located. Of course it could be something else.
