I'm trying to wire up a new stereo and it has illumination lights on it. Needless to say when I remove the key from the IGN switch the stereo's light stay illumined?
Typically I should just wire the orange/white (ILL) wire to the red wire (+12v w/IGN on) since this is at the IGN position switch. But in my case when the IGN key is pulled, the orange/white wire always pulling .7 volts; should I just drop a diode across the two wires to drop the voltage by .7v? I’ve prodded around and all of my IGN wires pull .7v, but my dash is totally missing and maybe I just have a weird floating GND?
Any better ideas?
Thanks
