Robbman Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I just installed an aftermarket stereo and everything is working fine except I'm having trouble finding the constant power that keeps the clock and settings saved when the ignition is off. Ive tested for hot wires when the ignition is off but could'nt find anything and am wondering now if there is one and if I could possibly splice into something like the cigarette lighter to improvise. http://picplz.com/user/williams7777/pic/jhgj/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis1990 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Don't take this the wrong way, but you'd be better off using insolation-free butt connectors and not the twist-on types. Watch this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Fuse #5 clock/horn/hazard. Should be a Green wire behind the radio with a single clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbman Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 thanks for the help, it worked perfectly... The last time I tried installing a car stereo was on a 71 bus and it was pre-internet, this is so much nicer having message boards like this. That said, I am hoping to get some more advice. I thought I was finally finished and ready to enjoy my newly installed stereo, but right after I fixed that and re-mounted the stereo I heard a couple popping sounds out of my left front speaker and then it went dead. The other three speakers are working fine. I already tested the speaker and it's still working and the two front left speaker wires to the wiring harness are still in place, any suggestions what might (hopefully) be an easy fix?
