Two things I need help with (FANS/ACCESSORY)

Hello everyone, I recently bought a clean, near mint 88 Iroc G92/5 speed from Texas. And although very clean, it has its share of issues.

My main concern is that I don't seem to have an Accessory mode on my ignition. I am a fan of my music, and I like to sit in my car and enjoy it sometimes and I would really like for this to be functional again.

Fixed one issue.

Any help would be welcome. Thanks!

If your running after market head unit, power it up to your fuse box. There's a single pin circuit marked radio. Or another single pin circuit marked auxiliary. Either circuit will supply power with ignition off. Don't forget to run a fuse.

Would giving it constant power like that drain the battery at all?

Those connections will only send power when the key is in "Accessory" position = ACC and "ON" position.

Isn't our ACC behind the "Lock" area?
