If I park outside-
Do not shut off wipers. Turn down fan on AC Turn down volume on radio. Listening to White snake If I park in the garage-which is most likely since I have one. Shut off wipers. Turn down fan on AC Turn down volume on radio. I rarely, if ever, shut down everything

I'm asking because I view a car like a spacecraft. Once I touch down, I go through all systems and shut them down before I turn the car off. I don't want any surprises when I'm getting ready to lift off again.

Radio would be turned down as I approach the neighborhood (lol). Park, turn off wipers, turn off the ignition, and go inside. If there's a great song on, I'll usually sit there and finish it.

Why do you leave the wipers on outside? Is that for a quick getaway later? Or do you just like to see clearly until the moment that you exit the car?

I guess I’d normally shut off the wipers but it doesn’t ever rain here so whatever.

All systems must be off.
Nothing worse then getting into a vehicle and the first thing to hit you is the stereo blasting ABBA |

I said I just turn my ignition off, but that isn’t true. I do shut my wipers off. I can’t stand them not being in off position when parked.

Same here, and if the windshield is dry when you come back, the wipers generally make a pretty horrid sound as they drag over the dry glass.

I pull up to the side of the street and switch my Bluetooth from the car to my earbuds, then shut the engine off.
I definitely shut the wipers off too, if they're in use. |

I turn everything off then lower the volume on the radio before I turn off the ignition.
My girlfriend likes to just park and turn off the ignition. The amount of times we get in her car to the music blasting is too damned high. Personally I think only a ****ing psycho could keep doing that and not change their behavior after like the third time of being scared shitless but what do I know.. |

Usually, when I get back in, it will still be wet and I will have to use the wipers

I usually turn off the wipers, and headlights depending on which vehicle, if it has auto headlights or not, but leave radio, a/c and stuff on and let the ignition switch turn them off.

All the things you mentioned are almost certainly on the same system. |
