Electrical Issue: Car radio losing presets and factory clock resets when I turn vehicle off sometimes. Why?
There are two power sources to the factory clock and the radio, one is the "always on" which supplies power to keep the radio presets in memory and the factory clock accurate, and the "key on" which powers the factory clock display and full operation of the stereo.
Just recently, the "always on" power became inconsistent, usually supplying power, but sometimes interrupts when I turn the vehicle off. It can't be the fuse, because if it were, power would remain off. I'm thinking it's a relay, but I can't identify which relay it is from both fuse boxes. Everything functions perfectly when vehicle is running (except having to reset clock and radio presets again).
It's a 1996 Honda Accord I've owned since 2001, without any previous electrical problems. I just installed a new battery (factory from the dealership) a month ago, and installed the aftermarket radio six months ago (I installed both myself, and I made certain to install the radio exactly according to the directions). But I've only had this problem for the last few days.
If it's a relay, what would it be called? Or could it be something else?
Need a new (recharge) car battery, perhaps.
- Sometimes the car does not stop when I brake but it feels like it's hard to stop, is this a rotor issue I'm afraid I will rear end someone? It happens every once a while I'll press the brakes and it won't stop like a jumpy feeling is this rotorsrelated? 2001 Honda Passport
- Honda TRX400FW starting issue (electrical)? I have a 2000 model Honda Foreman 400 (trx400fw) that has blown the main fuse and is going straight to ground from the main fuse (realized that by doing a continuity test) additionally, the fan comes on and stays on when the switch is turned to the "on" position and the starter is not getting power when the "start" button is pressed while in neutral and holding the left brake lever. (the starter itself works) any suggestions on what to check next?
- How to get my radio and alarm clock back on in my 2011 Honda CRV? I put a new battery in my car because it went dead. Now the radio doesn't work and the clock isn't working. I have a code, but can't program the code. Jeepers, I don't know how to get my clock and radio to work. Can you help?
- My 2000 Honda Civic EX shuts off when driving it, sometimes it'll start back up but sometimes it won't I got my tail pipe and muffler replaced. I also got the catalytic converter and MAP sensor replaced in my car as well. My dad believes it could be the fuel filter, but we have no clue what it really is.
