Almost none of the 2nd gen S-10 family need ignition keys at this point. They all wear out. Power up that yellow wire however you like if you want some tunes.
So, if I’m understanding you correctly, I should be getting battery voltage from the yellow wire when the ignition switch is in the accessory or running positions?
If that’s the case, well holy fuck that gives me some dead-on clues where to start looking next!
Correct. Orange wire is 12v constant and the yellow is 12v switch ignition. Brown wire is ground, but that’s kinda optional; it will pull ground from the antenna plug instead.
