New System........... problem

**1989se-i** · 09-15-2002, 12:49 PM

FINALLY i put in a new cd playah and amp, i used to have the stock radio/cassette, with no amp.

Anyway, it works great, except 1 thing: Everytime i turn off the car, all the stettings are erased (ie: clock is always at 12, eq is flat, preset stations=reset)

...I mustve wired sumthing wrong?

You probably forgot to connect the memory power wire. It is a separate line that keeps power to the memory, thus saving your settings. Check the installation instructions. It can be spliced into the head unit power line.

there are two power wires.
one is constant and the other one for the ignition switch.
constand wire should be connected to the battery or constant possitive.

yah the yellow wire from the back of the deck is for constant power and red is the accessory.

also check the fuses under the hood, once I wired everythign right but I blew a fuse, so the constant power wire wasnt gettign any power.
