Theft lock radio wont work on ACC.

[chuy22]

I originally thought my radio wasn't working because of a bad ignition switch. But it turns out that all other ACCs work fine. But the radio will not turn on. It is not the original radio for this van. I bought it used on ebay. and evertyhing else has been working fine.

Is there something I can do to fix this problem.

Well I took the radio out and guess what????????? It is fine, that is not the problem. it turns out that it is the ignition switch. I called the dealer and they want $107 for it, plus labor. I called my local parts store and they want $102 for it. is there anything I can do. The radio will turn on, on the ACC position but I have to keep playing with it until it wants to work. help any one.

Had the dealer replace the switch. Cost me $300 for the whole thing. Turns out that wasn't the problem. I tried another theftlock radio and that one works fine. I guess I have a bad radio. Will have to look into replacing that radio.
