Issue with 06-08 Metra Kit

[blue06mazda6]

just installed the Metra kit in my 06 today.
Everything works. But I noticed that in the Acc position the fan still runs.
Also the AC light stays on if the AC is being used.
I do have the manual climate controls.

The AC light will stay on even when the AC is actually off. Dont worry about that, it's just how the new circuit board works. As far as the Fan running.... that I dont have an answer for you. If your fan is in the off position it should not be running. If you have the auto climate controls make sure that all your connections are correct, and you didnt forget to plug in any cables. For mine I had to remove a cable from the old radio for use with the new Circuit board. If you are 100% that all connections are correct and your fan is still running when it's set to the off position you may need to exchange the kit for another one.

I do have the manual controls. The fan does turn off when turned to 0.
It's just that the fan is able to run when the key is in the accessory position.
But i can turn it off.

Well, that's interesting. The fan shouldnt be able to run with the key off. The metra kit also doesnt make connections to the manual controls. Sounds like something went wrong with your blower motor circuit. hmmm..

When the key is in the off position the fan does not run.
Just the accessory position.
Also when I was installing it i tried it with out the big harnes connected.
The fan only runs in the on position.
The person that I bought it from said that it was the same for him.
Also a couple of other said the samething.

I never tried the acc position to see if it works, I will today when I go to leave for work. You need to connect both harnesses. The one you have to remove from the factory head unit, the other is included.

As I said before though, the AC light staying on is normal. I will see if mine works in ACC pos.
