Radio looses station/date memory

How do I correct this problem? When the car is turned off all memory is lost!

Thanks for any help.

Fred:confused:

on car radios there is usually multiple wires giving it power.
1 negative wire
1 Positive Accesory wire (gives 12 volts + only when the car is started)
1 Memory Wire (constantly gives 12 volts + for the memory of the radio)
and sometimes a wire for the dimmer (gives 12 volts + when the headlights are turned on.)

if you recently had a new stereo put in, or had service done to the car around the radio, the mechanic/installer may have accidently changed the memory wire to a accessory wire, making the memory wire lose it's power when the car is turned off, causing ur problem.

check your battery terminals too, if they are corroded, disconnect then and use a wire brush to clean them.

also service done to the fuse box area or another part of the electical system, the mechanic/installer could have put the memory wire in the wrong place.

Check your fuses real close I suspect you have a blown fuse causing your problem! Most fuses oiperate more than one circuit.
