Damn Should have finished it on Saturday it’s even hotter today (104)!

The first order of business today was to check on the blue wires in the amp plug. There have been reported instances of the stock radio not working after the amp was pulled. So both wires were checked with the ignition off. Both had 12.3 volts a jewelers screw driver was uses to contact the pin as the probe was too big. So this car was not going to have a radio issue as there is always power here. I can’t see why the issue exists as these are a constant feed VS the switched power the radio gets?? Anyway the cure is to jumper the two blue wires. I suspect the battery voltage was down slightly due to the door being open with the interior lights on for hours on Saturday. I was working under the dash on Saturday and needed all the light down there I could get. Other wise I would remove the screw on the door switch. This also eliminates the key in the ignition noise. Thanks to my son for this idea. Also this car has a maplight mirror for an additional drain. But at my age the additional light is starting to become welcome.

Then the amp plug was cut in an area to make any possible re-connection easier. The wires here were then tinned with solder.
