Death to the radio!
i had an after market deck in my car and just today i started my car after work and the radio would not turn on and my clock was all dimmed and the wrong time. so when i got home i put my stock one back in and it worked but it would reset everytime i turned off my car, no memory at all. and the clock is still dimmed and it pretty much just fades out when i start driving. please help because its driving me nuts!!!

You switched your 12 volt line with your ignition line. (should be a red wire and yellow wire) How did you put the wires together? Butt Connectors?

Re: (Gman8941)
I believe that there is actually two fuses for your radio. One of the fuses should be memory. Double check it, I am pretty sure I am right. Could also be ground....those things can do crazy things!

Re: (97mini-me)
there are two wires that give it power. One should be active when the ignition is turned on and the other always has power i belive its called the (remote). The remote would cause you to loss all your preset stations after you turn the car off.

Re: (lazynok)
Check your constant voltage (the yellow wire). It's what keeps the radio from losing it's memory. If it's loose then that would cause it to reset. The ignition wire (red) just turns on the radio when you turn the key. As for your clock, do you have a dimmer wire (I believe it's orange) coming out of your deck? I left mine disconnected because you really don't need it. If you did wire it to the harness, that could also be loose grounding itself against some metal and causing your clock problem. Make sure that you don't have any bare wiring touching metal. Good luck.
