avic power off


Recommended Posts

i have a 2008 chevey express 1500 cargo van , when i turn off ignition and remove the key the deck stays on untill i open my driver side door .

 

i usually use my side door and it doesnt turn off the deck ,   i looked on the driver door but cant see the button that ususally depresses when u close the door , i was going to tap into this  and add another switch on my side door , so wondering....

 

 

how can i make the deck turn off when i open my side door ? 

 

i realize a few a few minuets the deck still turns off   but i dont like to leave it on and playing when i exit from the side door all the time.

would you want HU turn off when you turn off and removed the key? maybe you have wired power on all the time not acc key on.

I believe delay-off feature is through under dash module.  There are likely accessory circuits that turn off with key OFF... but you'll have to find one.

 

I have a 2000 Express.  The courtesy lights have delay-off feature, but not the HU (on OEM circuit).  I have heard of newer models doing what you observe, and it is likely the GM/Chevy engineers had a [not-so-...] bright idea to put the HU on that delay-off module.

 

I have done a fair amount of custom wiring in my Express.  I bought the Service Manual (it has electrical schematics) and it has been invaluable to that end.  IIRC it was around $100.  I can't put a price on headaches not had, but I believe I actually got a return on my investment. :)

jhren     could you please let me know where to wire the orange/white off the deck (lighting switch terminal as per manual) where to wire it to , so that the dimmer function will work ?

 

im opening up my dash  in the next day or so and would love to be able to dim the deck   with my dimmer switch on my dash that controls the brightness of the dash light
