Default Constant power wire !!

I can't find this stupid wire, I just bought the car from my friend, he took out his deck and I want to put mine in but I can't find the wire, I'm assuming it's yellow, and I'v tested all the other wires.
I need help, can someone please tell me if it actually is yellow ? and where it's hiding ?

but what I really need it for, is for my hazard lights. and I need them to work to past my safty check. I need to find the constant power wire and splice my hazard light switch it in.

For a 92 Civic.. the constant 12+ should be WHITE (ignition switch harness)

That is the constant. Constant 12+ is the white wire in your ignition harness.

The yellow is the accessory wire. If you use this wire for your hazzard, it will not work unless you leave your key in the acc position.

I fixed the problem
If you follow the yellow constant wire were your deck is it goes to your Hazard light switch and is connected to a white/green wire that goes into a black tube and to your battery. I had checked all the fuses in my car but not the ones under the hood, because I figured that the ones under the hood were all High Amp fuses like 30, 40, and 50 not a 10A fuse... Any ways I checked... And sure enough it said hazard lights 10A, and it was blown

So for all your guys how have this problem, now you know what to do, if it's your deck losing the time every time you turn off the key or if your hazard won’t turn on. Check that lil bitch of a fuse under the hood.

Constant power wire is the YELLOW wire. This holds memory for the clock, stereo custom settings, etc..
