Check to see if your radio's yellow (constant) is going to a constant source because that would be the solution to your problem, also to be thorough, make sure you have a good ground. (Not just the antenna plug).

Is there an orange wire on the cigarette lighter socket? If so, that should be a constant source.

You can run it to the fusebox, but there is a suitable wire on the factory radio harness. It will be a yellow wire on the same plug with a black, grey and possibly a pink wire.

Disregard speaker size and antenna location. This is for a Camaro but the wire colors are the same as your car. | 1978-81 Chevrolet Camaro Stereo Wiring | | Constant 12V+ | Orange | | Switched 12V+ | Yellow | | Ground | Black | | Illumination | Gray | | Dimmer | Brown | | Antenna Trigger | Pink | | Antenna | Windshield | | Front Speakers | 3 1/2" Dash | | Left Front (+) | Tan | | Left Front (-) | Gray | | Right Front (+) | Light Green | | Right Front (-) | Dark Green | | Rear Speakers | 6" x 9" Rear Deck | | Left Rear (+) | Brown | | Left Rear (-) | Yellow | | Right Rear (+) | Dark Blue | | Right Rear (-) | Light Blue |
