Retained accessory power
For those of you that don't know retained accessory power is when you turn the key off the radio stays on until you open a door. Now I did this on a 1994 Beretta but it should be similar for other models as well. I drew up a diagram to show how to hook this up.
Parts needed:
Two relays.
Wire.
Misc. connectors.
Now if you follow the diagram the (-) door trigger can go on the negative side of the interior lights. But on my 94 the problem I ran into was that when you turn the key off and take it out of the lock the lights come on. This kind of defeats the purpose of the mod but I found a way around it. The convenience center is located under the dash near the fuse block. Find the wires Green/Yellow for the drivers side and the Light Blue for the pass side. and use those wires for the negative trigger.
