Is your guys' "acc." switch like mine ?

Well this whole time i thought my accessory ignition switch didnt worked or I wired my cd player wrong because when I turn the key once to acc. it never turns on my radio, But what I just noticed is it works like this: Turn the key to "on" and the cd deck & everything turns on, then turn the key back once to "acc." and my cd deck stays on...
This doesnt bother me but Ive had my FD for 2 years now and just realised this today... Is that how your guys' acc position works or is it just mine ?!

Something is wrong, the head unit should work as soon as you switch to acc!
What about the windows, heater fan, wipers... do they work on acc without going to on position and back to acc?

I wouldn's be able to tell if is PFC related problem b/c I have pettit ecu which is same as stock when it comes to those features but there is something wrong for sure because those things are supposed to work on acc position.

As soon as i turn mine to acc it works. I wonder y they are different. Ill have a look through some wiring diagrams from different years and see if there is a difference.

I think it may just have somethiing to do with the decks used.

93', I checked the wires for my deck and only one of them has power when the "acc." is one but 2 have power when "on" position... I think its supposed to be like that, otherwise how would someone change that ?!

Mine is on at any time the selector is in ON or ACC, no matter how it got there.

That's the way it should be.
