CK 30 HST Cab radio question

[Retired guy]

Is there anyone out there who knows how I can make the radio in the cab work when the ignition key
is in the Accessory position and in the On position? Right now it only works when the engine is running.
I would like to be able to listen while working outside the cab while doing things like yardwork and filling
the bucket with firewood. Thanks. I could not find a fuse for the radio in the cabin fuse block.

It should be rewired for the radio. I put a cheep Sony deck in, hooked into the wiring harness provided and it worked the way you want.

Cannot find the noun for that pronoun in your answer, "It should be rewired"--Which "it"..radio, switch cab???

Sorry, I was typing on my phone. The cab comes pre-wired for the radio and speakers, at least mine did about 2 years ago. I spliced the wires from my radio into the harness left by Kioti (I couldn't find the right adapter to plug in) and it all worked perfect. I don't have the tractor anymore or I'd take a picture, but everything you need should be up there.

If you can't find the harness mentioned above and if you have a multimeter, check on the fusebox to find one that has 12vdc when the key is in the accessory position and no voltage when the key is off. If you find one, be sure that the fuse in that slot is equal to or greater than the fusing required by the radio. Then go to a parts store and get an "add a fuse" wiring adaptor. The one I linked is an example. Be sure you get the right physical size for your fuse box. Then wire it in.
