most likely the fuse blew again. this means you have a short. remove the radio and double check your wiring, something is grounding out.

i hope you used the aftermarket radio harness for this? you know, the one that connect to the factory harness and then you wire it up to the radio harness.

 

agree with both responses

 

i use the aftermarket radio harness

 

anyone

 

if you aren't sure about the power, run a power wire directly from the battery.

 

is there a security setting in the car that would mess up the radio at all?

 

no

 

i got it working i had to put the yellow wires with the red wires

 

good job

That doesn't sound right. One is supposed to be a constant 12V source, and the other is supposed to be ignition-switched.

BTW, in the future, try the Audio / Security/ Video forum for car audio questions or issues. That's what it's there for.

 

run a constant wire from your battery to replace the white with blue stripe wire if its an eg body style civic, and run the constant too the yellow wire, or else everytime you turn off your car your presets will reset along with the cd, nothing will stazy preset if you leave your yellow and red wire connected to your 12v ignition wire, i ran into this problem yesterday with my brand new alpine headunit, your constant 12v wire is bad on the harness, you can re-run the wire or just have a constant wire running from the battery or any other constant power source thats on your fuse box.
