I've been so busy enjoying the boost on my finished swap, that I just noticed last night that my headlights don't auto-shut off and the radio does not stay on when I remove the key (but haven't opened the door).

Strange thing happened at work the other day... I locked the doors while the key was still in the ignition (accessory mode, with the car off). I had not been able to do that in any of my other Sups.

Anyone else have a similar issue? Did someone disable something, bad integration relay, fuse? I did a brief search, but I guess I'll ned to dig into the TRSM.


TIA!

Sorry.. it's a '91T auto, now a 2JZ 5-speed. Did not swap the dash/body harnesses and removed an aftermarket alarm. The factory one is there, but appears disabled. I did patch the wiring back up, where it'd been cut/used for the alarm.

No turbo timer.

On my 87T, the radio would stay on untill a door was opened. Same w/the headlights, they'd shut off but stay in the up position. The wife's MKIV does the same (except for the pop-up headlights ;-).

I've not finished putting the underside dash panels on, since I still want to enable the neutral start/clutch switch and also wire up the A/C amplifier. So, figured that I could take care of this current issue as well, along with the other wiring work.

Once everything's solid, I will install another aftermarket alarm that has a turbo-timer feature.

The 87 and 88 had different electrical features relating to the doors, compared to later cars. The factory repair manual and EWD for the year should be checked.
