Need Help With Memory Problem
|
New member Username: Fukthesystem440Post Number: 1 Registered: Dec-05 | I'm pretty new to installing these things and I have a 87 chevy k10 and I ordered a headunit from crutchfield and I have it all installed but the speaker settings just wont save after i turn the ignition off. Don't say get a harness because the I did get one for my truck and the previous owner did some weird things behind the dash so I ran all the wires myself. I took the 12v constant and put it to the fuse box with a constant flow fuse and the ACC I put to a non constant fuse and no memory. Then I went and ran just the ACC to the constant and ran the 12volt wire to a non constant and the memory still didn't work. So then I ran them both to a constant fuse and the memory still doesn't work  I'm probably doing something totally wrong cuz im new at this but I need help. |

New member Username: Fukthesystem440Post Number: 4 Registered: Dec-05 | my wire is red and no I dont have a cig lighter and I remember I have both wires (acc and the yellow constant 12volt) in the fuse labeled on the fuse box "radio" so I'm thinking... Back then the trucks didnt have any fancy radios so it's probably NOT constant. |

New member Username: Fukthesystem440Post Number: 5 Registered: Dec-05 | but is it alright to plug the acc wire into a constant fuse? or does it matter? and by the way you've been a great help thanks.  |
