Hey guy's, I have a problem with my radio that I can't seem to figure out and I am hoping to find the issue before I have to take it to the local audio place and get raped.

Okay, I got a rockford fosgate radio, nothing special it has a cd player blah blah. Anyway, for some reason the radio stays on all the time, no matter if the key is on or off. Like the light stays on..if you know what I mean. So i rigged up a switch that turns it off so it wouldnt kill my radio..and when I turn my switch off and on it also erases my memory so it doesnt hold my presets and my bass/treble levels.

Obviously it's a wiring issue but i'm not sure what wire would turn it off and on?

If you guy's don't know i'm just going to take it to the audio place and they can hook my amp and subs up too

sounds like you wired up the constant but not the switched power. pull it out and double check, it should be a yellow wire.

sorry you are correct with yellow being memory (brain fart) look on the wiring plans for a switched power wire and wire it up
