I got a new radio a couple of months ago and I just put a new headlight switch in and a new motor

Well my radio is getting power... kind-of

I wired the ground to the cigar lighter

the radio lights up right when I connect the battery, but no other time and its lifeless

I replaced the fuse and the issue is still occurring.

Any Ideas?

 

you no there is two hot wires for radios one for power and one for memory and clock

 

yellow and red usually

 

bad ground
