Radio sometimes works.
Does anyone know which wire is the power wire for the radio? My radio is an aftermarket radio, and it sometimes comes on and sometimes doesn't, I plugged the old radio in and it didn't work, so it's the jeep and not the radio. I also checked the fuses and they are all good. So in conclusion does anyone know what is wrong?

It can be hard to diagnose an aftermarket radio, mainly because the installer may have butchered the wiring. The above link should help. Pink/Yellow for constant 12v. Red/white for switched. If you are having intermittent power issues, trace the wire and look for splices/connections that could be bad. You might want to re-do the connections. Also check the ground wire and it's connection.
