Sup people need some help. On my bro's accord he has a jvc deck that you could turn on without the switch being on. ?i think its called direct current? Well, his bus fuse that goes on the 12v constant wire pop i disconnected the red and yellow and put a new fuse. once i connected it again it didnt turn on. It only turns on with the key. The deck doesnt save anymore,like the stations or the last song i left off from a cd. Can anyone please help. Thank you

At your factory fuse box...check the fuses. Behind the dash at the harness the red goes to yellow/red The yellow goes to white with a yellow or blue stripe -------------

What you mean a wire harness adapter. I just connected it directly from stereo wires to car wires. I checked the fuse for the radio and it was still good.

I just connect the stereos wiring to the cars wiring directly wiht no adapters. I checked the fuse for the radio and it was still good. Also i tryed connecting the yellow and the red separately and the stereo wont turn on unless i connect them together. Oh also the clock on the car also resets every time i turn on the car.
