    Retain Acc. Power, not working with M2-ATX

    I installed the pc into my truck a couple weeks ago and just started noticing that if i open my door prior to turning off my truck, the pc will not go into hibernate, BUT my amp will turn off since the ACC is off.

    I have retained power accessory that keeps my amp and pc on if i take the key off the ignition. it stays on for like 10minutes then kills the power. and it works perfectly fine when i have all my doors closed and THEN remove my key. but if i open my door first and then remove the key, the amp shuts off like its supposed to but the pc stays on.

    I know it's a weird glitch but I believe it might be something with my M2, the acc wire I am using is going to a relay, from the relay i split it between the amp and the acc going to the M2. the amp acts like it is supposed to when wired this way and only the M2 seems to be having a problem.

    I wonder where the ACC line is wired to.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?



    Under normal circumstances, a signature would go here.

    lol no kidding...
    Probably off the OE radio ACC.
    Newer Fords are setup to keep the ACC on after you shut off the car, until you open the door.

    The OP needs to rewire his PSU ON to the trucks ACTUAL ACC line at the ignition...
