So I gave working on the alarm a break so i can work on the radio to get some music so i won't go nuts.

I found an issue with the fuse box and got the radio to turn on, setup my station and shut her down while i go about and setting up the door, i turn her back on and my radio re-set the clock and my station back to static.

I did a couple shut down and it still won't hold memory.

I double check my power connection
--------------------------------------------------------
constant power 12v(+) - lt. GREEN/ purple
switch power 12v(+) - BLACK/ purple
Ground - BLACK/ green
--------------------------------------------------------

Looking through the audio wiring diagram for the 2000 ford f150
I was suppose to have a lt. GREEN/ pink wire for constant power but mine a ltGREEN/ purple wire.

I am wondering if I have my power wire backwards

Am I suppose to set my yellow wire to the lt. GREEN/ purple (con. power) wire and red wire to the BLACK/ purple (switchable power)..
