i have installed a Kicker System in my 09 HHR SS You can read my other thread (add amps and eq to existing system) for details. I have a problem in the system that i can't seem to get an answer on how to cure it. So hear goes and I hope someone has had the same issue and has come up with a real fix. I am using the stock head unit, every time i open or close the doors without the ignition on i get a pop, not real loud but enough for it to annoy me. The rockford 3 sixty .3 is powered by the existing wiring for the factory amp and it in turn turns on the two amps. I have heard that there is a wire in the factory fuse box that will only turn on with the ignition on, does anyone know which one that might be? I guess that the power wire for the factory amp powers up when you open the door so the chimes will work in case you leave lights on or keys in the ignition.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks: Milton

 

Milton , lets trouble shoot this .
Ignition is off , drivers door is open ... nothing is on ... Your correct in you logic , signal sent through the 360 .
First I would remove power to the 360, see if the noise disappears .
If it does .....
Run a new turn on wire for the 360 from ignition ?
Sure that will work ...
I know where an ignition wire is . I tapped into it for my head unit for an ignition switch . We went to the ignition plug at the steering column . Removed the knee panel under the steering wheel , remove the off white plastic panel , unplug the plug under the right side of the bottom of the steering wheel. That is what we did to avoid the RAP module keeping the aftermarket head unit on until the door opened . Everything else was maintained except the delayed turn off/ door open feature . When I turn the key off the system is OFF .
When she gets home I can remove the panel and get the color wire we tapped into ... And maybe a picture or two .

thanks for the info Greg and a picture would be helpful, there is another post on here somewhere about a wire at the inside fuse panel that only powers on with the key on but i haven't been able to locate it, but i guess i could just get my test light out and check. just being lazy i guess trying to save a step.
Thanks Greg

 

Milton , I forgot about you . I will get that pic for you with in the next 24 hours .
No excuses , I dropped the ball .

I came in here all excited because I knew the answer and then Greg killed it. lol

 

Well , I actually dropped the ball on the pic ..... But thanks for wanting to help Milton .
Love this forum just for that reason ...

 

Greg don't need the pic just would like to know the color as I can't find my meter or test light (son in law has been into my tool box again) anyway thanks.
