(drivers door)radio wont shut off with key out until it times out and door chime will not chime with key when door is opened in but not started. If you put key in the ignition and take it out the interior will come on and time out. Also the battery is going dead

GM decided to selfishly stop selling us radio service manuals after 1994 to lock up all the repair business for themselves. Then people started installing high-quality aftermarket radios for half the cost of getting the original one fixed through the dealer and one of their two grossly overpriced repair centers. To combat that, they cleverly designed in the Body Computer into the radio to require that radio to stay in the vehicle. They started that customer-unfriendly business practice on some 2002 truck models, and it sounds like you have one. Time to visit the dealer.
