[QUOTE="KaeZoo, post: 519434, member: 554753"] If your constant and accessory power wires are together, take them apart. You can make the radio work that way, but not correctly. Much better to find and fix the real problem. As far as finding the real problem, you'll just have to get a multimeter and track it down. Your yellow wire should have power at all times. Your red wire should have power only when the key is turned on. One of the two probably doesn't have power at all. You'll have to figure out which one, then either fix the problem or run a replacement wire. It probably still comes back to a fuse; you can't always easily detect a blown fuse by looking at it. Troubleshooting without a multimeter is just guessing. [/QUOTE]
