[QUOTE="haus3452, post: 8472198, member: 668880"] So, I installed a Pioneer aftermarket head unit in my new-to-me 2003 Chevy Venture a couple weeks ago. Long story short, I had to run a fuse tap for the accessory wire because there was no compatible accessory wire in the factory harness. The factory radio stayed on for approximately 10 minutes after the ignition was off, as do the power windows (and maybe more things I'm not aware of). I fuse tapped the rear wiper because it's on when the key is on and turned backward to the accessory setting. However, the Pioneer doesn't stay on for 10 minutes after the ignition is turned off, as the factory radio did (and the power windows do). I'd like for my Pioneer to do so. What is the switch/relay/whatever timed mechanism that gives certain things power after the ignition is off called? And where can I find it to either tap into it, or tap into one of the wires that come out of it? How would you suggest going about wiring my stereo into it? I have a Haynes manual which has the wiring diagrams in it, but I'm finding nothing that sounds or looks like it might be what I'm looking for. Any suggestions would be welcomed and appreciated!
