If you turn the ignition towards you from the "OFF" Position, you can
operate things like the radio; I think windshield wipers; cigarette
lighter. That is the ACCessory Position. I've not looked under my '99
Ranger to see, but you should be able to find the wiring stuff for it.

(Sorry if you knew that.)
