    Help! Stereo doesn't work while in acc!

    I finished installing my new stereo system, hoping the old radio's bad habit of not working in the acc (key turned to first position before "on") would just go away, but my new stereo has the same problem!

    I checked the harness upon splicing the new connector for the new stereo deck, and ever connection and pin seems fine.

    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

    You should use a test light or multimeter to check for power at the wires that feeds the deck, if your not getting power to a certain wire, I would trace it back to the source.

    Heres a link to all the typical chassis electrical wiring diagrams for our cars:

      sounds as if someone had direct wired the 12v switched (red) wire on the back of the deck to the fuse box or ignition wire in the main harness. would need to relocate it to a wire that fets power when the key is set to acc.
      SHARPIE ACCORD HERE....

        agreed with big rich. just out of curiosity, did your old stereo ever work before in acc?

            make sure the yellow and or orange wire is hooked up to your harness and did you buy an aftermarket harness adapter for the new deck? if so you should be fine check the fuse box should be a fuse locator on the lid or check your manual and you should have a fuse that runs acc. or radio illumination also see if there is a fuse thats for your key accessory

                a radio does not see the diference between acc or on. all it sees is 12v. turns on when it sees it or off when it doesnt see it. are any other oem components not functioning when you have your acc on? have you checked your inside and outside of the car fuses? you can always just run a new acc from the ignition harness. if youve had the same problem with 2 stereos in the same car then most likely it has something to do with you car not the radios. check all fuses good luck
