Stereo doesn't switch off

[Bluethunder]

Hi, I've removed the aftermarket stereo fitted to my car when I bought it and refitted the OEM unit. But when the key is removed from the ignition the radio stays on...I have to manually turn it off. Is it to do with the wiring or something else?

I suspect It’s that red wire with the blue connector. I had mine out yesterday and I don’t have that, just the multiplug, what does it connect to?
Why are the other two plugs not in the multiplug either?

The red wire was connected to the aftermarket unit. I've tried to see what it was connected to inside the dash but it just came out whilst I was trying to locate the source. The other 2 plugs are connected to the multi plug now but the radio still has to be manually switched off.. Any ideas?

Some better photos of the multi plug wiring.

I’ll try and get a look tonight. Won’t be home until after 8.
Was the red power to the old stereo? Worry would be a live wire loose behind the dash.

Thanks Iain, much appreciated!

I've found the problem. Fuse 47 was blown!... Replaced the fuse and radio is switching off now with the ignition

Perfect.
Home too late last night, but had a go earlier and couldn’t see any difference between my wiring and yours.
Id be keen to trace that red wire just in case it’s a bare live.
