source of radio's constant power

[StressSolutions]

Hi...Just got an 88 LX, (164,700, auto) which came with a cd player shoved into the radio hole, but not hooked up. Found the diagram in the Haynes manual somewhat helpful, but I think I shorted the constant power somehow, since there is not any any more, and the clock doesn't keep track of time. Resets to 100. I checked all fuses in the fuse box under the dash, is there another location?

I did a search, couple times, couple different ways, so any and all helpful responses will be appreciated. What is commonly experienced fuel economy?

Thanks, Mick

Yes, there's a fuse box on the passenger side, under the hood. Check fuse no. 11. My milage is about 31 to 34mpg, but mine's fuel injected.

I saw that box but hadn't dived in yet. I did a search right after I posted about fuel economy and got a lot of info. Thank you! mick

Good call on the fuse box under the hood, Just like it was posted, #11, red 10 amp fuse blown, a quick change and back in business...Thanks again!

There's and audio section on here too. they would know better. Just guessing there is a constant power wire in the radio hole or you could use the one from the Honda clock up on the dash or the one for the cigarette lighter. Use a 12 volt tester (light) and probe them wires.
