Okay so I just finished replacing a stolen car radio, but I think I messed up the wiring... When I turn off the car the radio doesn't seem to save the presets I had... it resets the whole stereo... I think it has something to do with the wiring I did... When I installed the radio there were two 12+ volt wires... One said 12+ volt constant and was yellow, and the other said 12+ volt switch and was pink... Problem was when I wired only the yellow one the car stereo wouldn't work, so I tried the pink one and that didn't work.. SO thinking I was clever I wired both to the 12+ volt and VOILA the radio turned on... Problem is I don't think that's how I was supposed to wire it... I have a '97 Honda accord Ex and I don't know if that's what I was supposed to do... :\
And I only have one 12+ volt wire which is why I could only wire one or the other... or like I did both Dx
Lol I had bought a wiring harness and tried wiring it in and like I was saying one of the wires is missing... well doesn't have a wire which is the 12+ volt switch one... I was looking at a wiring guide for honda accords and I couldn't find the 12+ volt ignition wire... does that mean that it could have gotten ripped out along with the radio when it was stolen??
