For THEFTLOCK Anti-Theft feature or for radio features and control operations refer to Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD)Circuit Description

The radio receives battery voltage at all times on circuit 640 from the PWR ACCY Fuse 7 to keep clock and preset station memory enabled when the ignition is off. With the ignition switch in ACCY, RUN or Retained Accessory Power (RAP), voltage is applied to circuit 43 from the RADIO Fuse 17 to enable radio operation.

When the park lights or headlights are turned on, voltage is applied to the radio on circuit 9 from the headlamp switch. When voltage is applied to circuit 9 at the radio, the radio will illuminate the display. With the headlights or park lights on, the radio display may be dimmed manually using the IP dimmer switch. The IP dimmer switch varies the voltage on circuit 8 to the radio to control display dimming.
