1999RL ACC to Radio is open
I've traced my radio not working to the ACC voltage not getting to the radio. It is WHT/RED, but it goes behind the dash and have spent quit a bit of time looking for where it comes out. I have 12 volts at the fuse. I can easily find the ACC off the ignition switch everything else ACC works. Does anyone have the harness routing drawing for radio dongle? There is a lot of electrical tape everywhere...

I originally thought my radio was bad. I spent some time tracing the wires, and then I was going to run another wire from the fusebox, but decided to jumper the the constant 12 volt pin to the ACC pin since it was already open. Connected everything put in the radio code, and now it is working. The downside and upside is that I will always need to turn the radio off, but I can listen to the radio without putting in a key.

Next thing to tackle is my dash lights bulbs. My outside temp and odometer stopped working so I hit the board with my soldering iron since that fix my relay pump several years ago. I see some blue LEDs on ebay but really just wanted it back to factory. I've lost several bulbs just in the past 2 weeks...no doubt from removing it and putting it back in. All these bulbs are EOL. I'll be going to the junk yard to get some connectors so I can inject some signal to see if I can figure out what the odometer problem might be. Trying to find the schematics...for $243 just for the OD board I'd would rather have some fun fixing it.
