Help me!

So, first time at the drive in movies with the Expy. I have no idea how to turn on the radio without turning the key to "key on engine off". There's no "accessory" position like my truck where you turn the key back from the off position. Am I going to need to leave my instrument panel lit up all through the movie? Also, any way to shut down the interior lights with my hatch open?

Thanks!

Well, with tricking the hatch by clicking the latch, the lights are off and I guess turning the key to on them back one did the trick for the dash. Is that what everyone does or am I missing something else?

I don't have to do that with my '97, simply turn the key to acc. You may want to get your key deburred. It may be a bit rough and sticking on the pins.

Both keys do it, so I doubt it's that. I wonder if any other '03 owners might be able to chime in. Maybe an aftermarket cylinder was used?

Very unlikely with the aftermarket cylinder. Why not pull yours out and check it? The owners manual will say ihow ACC works on yours.

There is no acc'y position in the '03. To turn the interior lights off roll the dimmer wheel all the way down until it clicks. It will also dim the dash lights, but not completley turn them off.
