Help with acc and 12v constant wiring

[3litre]

I have a 1991 Mazda 626 LX, and the head unit crapped out so I bought a new Pioneer one, the previous owner must have rewired it or something because it didn't have the normal clips that you just plug in so I just wired it all up manually to the correct wires etc..

Well I turned it on and nothing happened so I thought maybe there's something wrong with the electrics which caused the other one to stop as well.

So I'd like somebody to help me in making my own ACC and 12v Constant wires please? I've looked everywhere and found nothing.

Please please pleasee help it's annoying driving around with no music.

the wires are there. Use a multimeter to find out which is 12v constant and switched. If you cant seem to find one, you most likely blew a fuse. Check your fuses and test again. If for some unheard of reason you can not find constant and switched, you can run your own new wires from the fusebox. find switched and constant sources in the box and run a wire from those specific fuses to your HU.

Okay so it's all wired up and I found 2x 12v wires which both act as switched 12v.

I still can't seem to find a 12v constant so whenever I turn the car off I loose all settings.

What should I do now?
