    Well if its dead with the key off then someone has messed with the wiring. Or did this just start happening?

    If it comes on with the key the fuse has got to be good 99% certain. The clock fuse is in the under hood fuse box.

    dodgy wiring ftl...... who else has wiring issues with their 3g? i know i do... my ecu flashes me a cyl error code and the engine misfires at high rpms and high speeds. also when i toot my horn my left rear doors centyral locking makes a noise like its trying to unlock its allready unlocked self......ive blown 2 alternators in that car for no reason....cant figure out why... just like you cant figure out why ur constant power doesnt stay on. have you messed with the wiring by the stereo maybe theres a wire came off around there somewhere i know the memory wire splits into about 3 wires behind the stereo

    Run a new wire to the positive battery Terminal.

    Make sure you add a Fusable link into it, like 15-20 Amp

    I think after all the times you've swap a stereo without using a plug in harness, something is either broken or lose

    Did you check fuse #11 in the under the hood fuse panel? I think it is labeled ECU/Clock.
