I have searched all over with no luck. I just installed a stereo in my 70, only problem is my radio connection at the fuseblock is constant hot even in the off positon. In the off position it is a bit dimmer than in the on and acc position. Everything works fine and I dont have any battery drain issues, even replaced the ignition switch. I noticed there are 2 brown wires on the ignition switch for the accessory. One wire has a white stripe which is for the external regulator. I did away with the external regulator, could this be a reason the acc is a constant hot even in the off position? Should I cut this wire?
