I have power, do you have power too?

With the key off and the parking or headlights on the wipers, radio, and horn still function. Does your car do this too?

Or because pos?

With no key on my car, only the parking lights, rear lights, side markers, and interior backlights work (all turned on by pulling the headlight switch).

[Cletonius]

Weird. Seems like everything should stay off then. I wonder what hackery has been done. Sigh

[devon.818]

no key, everything off. key in, door chime and only the door chime! (i rigged my friends to ALWAYS chime, he ripped it out and threw it out the highway)

but hey, if you ever loose your key, you should be able to hot wire it pretty quick

[Cletonius]

So should I start looking in the column, near the headlight switch, or by the radio? Car was setup for aftermarket stereo when I got it.
