I am trying to do a simple head unit swap, and running into a bit of a problem. The accessory turn on, for turning the CD player on when the ignition is in acc, or run is not getting voltage. It was working before, and I swear all I did was pull the old head unit out, and wire up a new one.
I swear this happen the first time I did a head unit install on this car. I remember letting the car sit overnight, and it started working again by some miracle.
Either way, I'll plan to study some wiring diagrams and try to figure out why the acc. turn on isn't working. I'm looking for ideas of other things to look at. As it sits now, I get about 4mV key off, and it jumps to 70mV when the key is in ON. Certainly not enough.

Never mind, guys. I figured it out.
It turned out to be a fuse. I was rather surprised this was it, because every other car I've worked on has the regular power on the same fuse as the ignition switch.
