Ok. I turn my key one slot on a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado and the battery dash light comes on and really nothing else that I notice happens.
But if I turn one more slot to RUN I heard some strange noise from under the hood. What is this noise? Is it fuel pressurizing?
Ok, onto the main part. My wiring harness for my radio has been hacked. They didnt use one to install an aftermarket radio and just cut up the wires. I have to turn my key two notches to the RUN position for the radio to play, unless I am driving of course with the engine on.
So, how can I get my radio to play on ACC and what would benefit from that? If you say it will drain the battery at a slower rate, then please explain why. All I know, is when I want to hear the radio whilst parked, I go into RUN, turn off the auto headlights, make sure it is out of reverse (back-up lights), and turn the gauge cluster down to conserve juice so as not to have a dead battery. So, is my radio installed wrong and after the fuel pump primes, what else is going on with the key in RUN with the engine off?
