Radio Comes On W/ Headlights

[Ron Norman]

My son installed a CD in my dash all seemed to work perfect. So I left my lights on, turned off ing. and the radio stayed ON. Turn on radio no lights, turn on lights ing. off = radio's ON.. again.

 

HELP.. strange ?? lights hooked to radio.??

Lines crossed?  One wire comes from the fuse box that is fed from the ingintion switch.  When the key is "on" or "acc", you have radio.

 

Another wire controls the dimmer on the radio (whether the radio dims or not).  This comes from the head light switch.  This is a hot line when the lights are on.

 

Double check the wires.
