    odd, I get nothing till the second click and they are all bright.

    Have u noticed dimming headlights, interioir lights, or other signs of a weak battery/failing alternator?

    Or even spiking of lights from dim to super bright while driving?

    I should be asleep tho so maybe I missed something.

    I wonder if the ignition switch could be going bad since the amp comes on?

    Could be a short somehwere
    who wired up the amp?
    If wired correctly, amp should come on when the radio comes on. First click of the key. All light on the dash should come on the second click.

    The amp was wired by a car audio shop a little over a year ago. Its never came on til the second click of the key until now. When i click key one time it comes on along with check engine..abs...tire pressure...and oil lights. The lights are dim and look like they flicker a bit. They go off when i crank it though
