I recently purchased a Honda Integra 2000 with a aftermarket JVC head unit, I noticed the clock and radio reset every time I started my car, So I then checked the Interior fuse box and the radio fuse was fine, I then checked the fuse box under the bonnet and found the backup fuse was blown, I then replaced the fuse but and the clock resetting problem was fixed, but now my dash lights, cigarette lighter and radio don't turn off when the key is out, Any ideas to what the problem is would be much appreciated.

The head unit is probably wired incorrectly, remove it and see what you find, there are several different power connections behind the head unit so if a few of them got crossed it could cause this behavior. It wouldn't surprise me if you found a rats nest of hacked up wiring that you'll need to cut out and redo completely as most people are too lazy/cheap/stupid to do it properly so they just cut the factory plug off and twist the radio harness into it.

If you find a mess, these things are the best way to splice wires short of soldering everything as long as you can crimp them properly.
