Ignition sensitive add -on accessories
For most cars, the sequence is... Off, ACC, Ignition On, Start
The ignition is live or hot and has power available. The term neutral does not really apply.
Sounds like a short.
Turn the key to acc. and push the plunger in located on the Ignition lock housing
You need to replace the egnition key cylinder.
No it doesn't. The acc wire on your stereo is for accessory from your ignition switch. That's so you can turn your car key back and run your stereo without turning on the engine.
It will not hurt anything to leave the key stuck in the ignition on ACC in a Mazda van for short periods of time. The ACC slot on the ignition allows the driver to use accessories such as the air conditioner and radio without the car being in motion. If the key is left in this position for too long it can run down the battery in the car.
Maintenance Required LightTurn ignition to 'ACC' and press the odometer button until the display reads actual mileage... not Trip A or B. Turn ignition off.Hold in the same button you used in step 1.While holding the button in, turn ignition to 'ON'.The 'Maint Reqd' light should blink and go out.Done!If you wish to confirm, this info should be in your owner's manual.__________________________________-- for the 2004 HighlanderSame as above except turning to ON did not work for me but turning to ACC did.For me..... and I have a 2005 Highlander, I had to hold the odometer button down for several seconds, In my case I had to hold it down for 6 seconds.For my 2007 Highlander you turn the ignition to ACC press the odometer button, turn it to off, then turn it back to ACC (not "ON") while still keeping the button depressed. The dealership had it wrong, as well.
Perform the following steps in order. 1. Turn on ignition without starting and wait 7 secs then turn to acc position and wait 4 secs. 2. Turn on ignition without starting and wait 7 secs then turn to acc position and wait 4 secs. 3. Turn on ignition without starting and wait 7 secs then turn to acc position and wait 4 secs. 4.Turn on ignition without starting and wait 7 secs then turn to acc position and wait 3 secs. 5. Turn on ignition without starting and wait 7 secs then turn to acc position and wait 2 secs. 6. Start car and wait 3 secs then turn off wait 3 secs and start car. Took me 2 tries as I was not getting the timing right...but it worked.
Yes. After inserting the key, turn it counterclockwise one click.
Assuming you are talking about older vehicles that had ignition points, the acc mode would let you listen to the radio while parked with the engine off without burning up the points.
