Can't find continous power for radio
 

okay heres the situation, im installing a new deck(Alpine) into my 89 camaro rs. i found the three wires i needed. gray-continous power, (small) yellow- igniton wire, black- ground wire)
well my deck won't turn on because there is no power from the gray wire. (i metered it) i looked in the fuse pannel and checked all the fuses (nothings blown) i replace the radio fuse, that didn't help.... now im stumpped...... anyone know where the continous power wire fuse is located??? thx

It has been a while since I was in that part of my dash but I think the constant power wire is orange. Or orange with a black stripe. I think the grey wire dims the radio when the headlights are on.

Check fuses again. I loked and that fuse should be labled ARC fuse 20amp. If it still no worky there should be some free hot spots on the fuse panel to use. just run a wire with an inline fuse some where easy to get to if it blows.

Are you talking continous as in memory wire?

nvm, i jus ran a new wire to the battery. got to annoying trying to trace that wire through the dash. i pulled every wire out and metered it and they were all good, i dunno what my cars problem is but at least it works now..

That's how my car was, none of the wires were the right color lol so we had to take all them off and rewire the whole thing. SO aggervating!!
