2004 Ranger radio volume issues
I have a problem with my 2004 Ford Ranger that just started today.
The radio is getting power when the ignition is in both the accessory & the run positions.
The problem: There is only radio volume when the ignition is in the on position but only when the motor is not running.
Accessory position = NO radio volume
Motor running = NO radio volume
Ignition on/motor not running = radio volume works
Any ideas what may be the cause of this strangeness?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum
Doesn't sound to hard, you probably have a separate amplifier.
Have a look here: Ford Ranger Radio Wiring Diagram
Look at the 2004 Premium sound system
The separate amp should have power all the time but turned on and off by radio on/off.
"Enable"
As another may be, Ford added a MUTE circuit for Radios in late 1990's/early 2000's

It's for people who forgot to turn the radio volume down after driving home drunk the night before.......................joking
