[QUOTE="Quackaholic22, post: 8687263, member: 678304"] I recently installed an aftermarket head unit and speakers throughout my 2001 Chevy Suburban. I installed the unit and noticed the speakers weren’t working. Come to find out, it has a stock amp in the car. So I did some research and found out it was a pink wire that needed to be connected to another wire in the aftermarket plug in to the factory plug in. Well after I did this, I have noticed my car has been dead 3 times in the past week. I know it is pulling constant power from the stock amp on the car. I don’t drive it every day, so if I go a couple days without driving, I have to jump it off. Where should I connect the “pink” wire to be able to only send power to the amp when the car is turned on? Here is a picture for the help. I had it hooked up to the remote antenna to begin with (royal blue wire). Should I connect it to the illumination dash light (orange wire)? I am clueless. I pulled the pink wire out of the OnStar plug that you can see in the back. I don’t need or care to keep OnStar. It’s probably a simple fix. Any help would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
