I had to pull the head unit on my 86 delco bose to clean the volume pot and replace the tape drive belt... and no.. i'm not gonna replace it with something else, would rather keep it stock for now...anyway, when i put it back in... the unit lights up okay until i turn on the headlights.....did i miss a connector somewhere? i pulled the 3 speaker cables, the power, and the antenna.....should there be another connector that is referenced back to the headlight switch or relay?

thanks in advance,
mike

There is a brown wire that is powered 12v when your lights are on. Perhaps the connection for it somewhere has been severed?
