I thought the same thing and my consistant was going to be the cig. lighter but that bastard doesn't work unless the car is on. So that means its getting no power when its is off thus hooking up the radio to that isn't going to work. <br /><br />Then JUST and I mean JUST! the other day after owning this car for over a year found out the windows work with NO key in or car on....why I never noticed this before I have no clue but how could this be...are my windows hooked up to this secrect consistant wire I need?<br /> <br /> <small>[ February 10, 2005, 01:45 PM: Message edited by: Jdub07 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Sean90GT</b> <br /><small>Member # 33</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,1,10,19,43,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Well, I have an '02 Accord EX.

I believe that the yellow is the constant. It just needs to be hooked up to constant power. Anything that is powered when the key is off. This is the line that keeps your presets and clock settings. The red line is usually tied in to a switched 12V wire that is energized with the ignition. This is the line that powers up the deck for play. <br /><br />I may have the wire colors backwards so somebody correct me if wrong.<br /><br />edit - Is this a stock deck or aftermarket???<br /> <br /> <small>[ February 14, 2005, 08:26 PM: Message edited by: Sean90GT ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Jdub07</b> <br /><small>Member # 2728</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,1,15,8,19,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Sean90GT:<br /><strong> <br /><br />edit - Is this a stock deck or aftermarket??? </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">its a cheap aftermarket. I'll try hooking the yellow up to the clock wire and leave the red wire as it is and see what happends. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
