ACC on a car ignition stands for "Accessory." When the ignition key is turned to the ACC position, it powers the vehicle's electrical accessories, such as the radio, without starting the engine. This allows you to use these features while the car is parked.
The ignition is live or hot and has power available. The term neutral does not really apply.
It will not hurt anything to leave the key stuck in the ignition on ACC in a Mazda van for short periods of time. The ACC slot on the ignition allows the driver to use accessories such as the air conditioner and radio without the car being in motion. If the key is left in this position for too long it can run down the battery in the car.
No it doesn't. The acc wire on your stereo is for accessory from your ignition switch. That's so you can turn your car key back and run your stereo without turning on the engine.

The ACC (accessory) position on an ignition switch allows electrical accessories in the vehicle, such as the radio, power outlets, and dashboard lights, to operate without the engine running. This position is useful for using these features while parked, without draining the car's battery significantly. It serves as a convenient way to enjoy certain functionalities without fully engaging the ignition.
The key to my ignition broke off in the ignition. Luckily, I was able to insert the remainder of the key in the ignition and turn on my car. In order to fix the problem, I had to take my car to the dealer and I am pretty sure they removed it and installed a new ignition "key hole" keyed to my car. It is a 1990, and I believe the problem happened approx 1993?

In the context of wire code on a radio, "ACC" typically stands for "Accessory." This wire is used to connect the radio to the vehicle's accessory power, allowing the radio to turn on and off with the ignition switch. When the ignition is in the "ACC" position, power is supplied to the radio, enabling it to operate without the engine running.
Sounds like a short.
