Need clarification on amp trigger wire

[cop on my back]

I need to know if the blue wire in the back of the car stays on while the engine is off and the radio is still on. Installing amp today so need this info. I do sometimes listen to the radio when parked so if that blue wire goes dead when you turn the engine off that is no good.

What blue wire? more details please so I can give an accurate answer

Lots of posts on here,met is a blue with white wire I believe. I am just digging into it now

If you're referring to the wire in the harness in the trunk that runs to the speakers in the rear deck, I used it for the remote wire for my sub amp. When I kill the engine, the sub goes off with it.

Yea, that is he one I'm thinking of. I want to have one that is on wi the radio. Fuse 23 someone said?

That fuse is supposed to active until you open your door.

That is the air conditioning clutch fuse. Odd.

Ah I see it is the cabin fuse #23. #33 is for the radio head unit, I will look at that one too.

Well 23 seems hot all the time and 33 will only work with ignition or engine on, no luck

I used:

#23 Switches. Power windows. Rear-view mirror

I use it for my amps as turn on, remote cable.

it stays powered after you turn off the car n shuts off when you open the door. The same way as the power windows.


PS. #23 is NOT hot at all times, I have had my car wire that way for about 6 months
I like being able to listen to the radio after I turn off my car.
As soon as I open the door ( w/ the car off ) the radio n amps will turn off.

Great info, thank you!

#23 in the cabin, not the engine compartment, correct? I will have to giive it a try, it is the last wire to hook up. Got all the rear interior put back in last night.

I believe it's in the passenger footwell...

Well I used 23 and it does work with the ignition on and/or accesory on. There is a way however to run the radio with the door open and in that scenario the sub won't work.

Can you provide more details?

If the key fob is in the car and the door is open, you can push the power button on the radio (actual dash button) and the radio will come on. Nothing else will work, windows fan etc. The 8" display will work as well. Fuse 23 is not hot however so no sub.
