Ok so I have been fixing all the small stuff that previous owners have done with the car I have bought. And I have ran into something I can't figure out..in your cobalts when you turn your car off the radio still works and you can put the windows up and down for like ten to fifteen minits after. Mine doesn't do this! Also I took out the touch screen (what a disaster back there) there is a wire going into my harness to supply the deck with power with the key. I traced the wire back to the fuse box under the hood. I have tested every wire on the back of the stock radio plug and can only find a constant power no power from key in on position. Hence the wire from the fuse box ...I also don't have the chime when the keys are left in the ignition..when the door opens...as i wright this I might have figured out the problem ( maybe) MY DOOR SWITCHS ARE BROKE ! Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks

 

Your chimes are not working because of the radio if ylu connect the stock one they should work. As for the other stuff im not to sure

 

It will chime sometimes but I still won't have power to anything ..I'll tell ya when it chimed last when I hauled my stock a pillar off lol. It's like when I give the dash a bump it starts to chime..then stops again until the next bump...like putting the plastic trims back on...I am at a loss with this one I'll check the door switches tomorrow.

 

Do you have the module for the chimes? And if its doing that then something isnt connected correctly

 

Would that be the black box about two inches wide three long and half inch thick in the tangle of wires that's behind my deck lol.

 

Just did some research and the chime comes from your left front speaker ..maybe the speaker bitt the bullet..I found a pick of a chime box but it doesn't look like what I am talking about.

 

From stock the chimes come from the left speaker. If i had a pic i would show you the box that is used to retain the chimes. But if your chimes comes from the speaker then maybe remove the door cover and check wires if not your speaker is bad

 

Oh I don't know where there coming from lol. I'll do some more wire testing tomorrow after work. Or at lunch ...

 

Just went to the store in the wife's 2006 lsj and the chimes do not come from the door speaker and it's all stock.

 

06 are different i think 07 and up the chimes come from the left door speaker

 

Ah makes sense I got to find that chime box tomorrow mush have a loose connection or is on it way out.

 

Yeah just give it a good check maybe someone else can chime in on the other stuff

 

Ya thanks man ..hope someone do.

 

the door wedge switch is broken my windows will work now when the key is off but still no power from key at the deck threw stock wiring harness.

 

The instrument cluster controls the chime and all sounds like the single light tick ..just replaced it with one from a member here. Bolt all better now ( except no power from key on radio harness ) but that's all good I have it spliced into the power window wire with a fuse so now I have everything back to normal.

 

U trying with drivers door open? Cause as soon as drivers door opens power is cut. Could possibly door switch is bad maybe

 

door switch was broke I have it fixed for now until the new one comes.

 

Retained accessory power (RAP) fuse is likely blown

 

Oh ok I checked all the fuses in the panel on the pasanger side in the car and only a few under the hood ones I thought would affect the radio don't recall seeing that one but I'll look again. Thanks.

 

u sure its fixed? could it still be not working correctly causing this issue? maybe the new one will solve it. if fuses are ok, id wait and see what that does just to eliminate it as a cause.

 

No I am not sure it's fixed but I cleaned it with electrical spray and put it back in and it works going to replace it anyways just to be safe only eight bucks.

 

If i remember correctly the rap fuse should be inside the car in the bcm

 

All fuses are good there.

 

So when you say fixed. You're saying when you open your door the dome/map lights come on and the DIC lights up with your Odometer mileage?

 

Yup.
