Need Accessory wire for stereo... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Recenlty installed stereo in my buddies 70' truck. Stereo works fine. I used the pink wire from the ignition switch, which is hot when the engine is on, and used it for the accessory wire, but it does not work when the key is turn to 'acc'.

the other problem is when the dash lights are turned on, the fuel guage moves from full to empty and the turn signal positions are reversed. Im thinking this might have to do with a bad ground.

anyway, can I keep the pink wire as the accessory? Or is there another wire I can use? Thanks.
