    Icon9 depressed 17 yr old galant driver

    Alright so I was hooking up a new car radio to my car and stuff but then I noticed that I wasn't getting power in constant wire so I ended up connecting the yellow and red write from the radio to the ignition wire (blue) BC the constant wire didn't have power (red/black). So every time I turn of my car my radio restarts. How can I fix the constant wire so it can have a constant current?

    I don't know of any links. But if I was you id check my radio fuse I can bet money that when you were hooking up your radio you grounded your constant wire and blew a fuse.

    Grab a multimeter and find out which wire has power on all the time

    Replace the radio fuse and re-connect your radio correctly. No need to go into depression.

    i did everything correct , i grounded the black wire (ground to the car) i checked every other wire and their wasnt a current running through them when my car is off . how can i hook up a wire from the batter and connect it to the radio?

    theres always current going thru a constant 12v even when the car is off so if you accidentally hit anything with that wire it wouldve cause it to blow your radio fuse canceling all power to that wire so if you want to fix your problem get your car Manuel look up your radio fuse and replace the fuse with a good one.
