simple stereo problem...

i think this is pretty simple. my stereo will not keep the time or the preset stations. it is aftermarket: old, am/fm cassette, lol. i did a search and found that the orange wire is for the memory and according to the sticker on the top of the stereo, it is hooked to the right wire (gr w/ wh stripe). anyway, i checked for voltage on that orange wire with the key off. and i got 12V (roughly). doesn't this go to say that my head unit is crap? thank you for reading!

just go get a new cd player or something and get the wiring harness for it....
is it the original head unit?

i had that happen to me also i had a brand new pioneer headunit that would not keep any of my stations or time, take it to a stereo shop that knows what they are doing, i found out that i mixed one of the wires up when i used the GM radio adapter that was making me lose all my memory settings, hope this helps

maybe you can help me. My camaro wont start 99% of the time. only once in a blue moon. runs all day then quits. replaced virtually everything on it. down the the distributor or the computer. its a 91 rs 3.1
going nuts

i don't know much about 82-92 camaro's i have a 93 so the reason that your car isn't starting is beyond me, maybe the ignition could be bad down to the wrong firing order? does it crank over or does it not even attempt to start?

You're backwards, the orange is battery hot, on at all times. There's a yellow wire which is the fused feed, hot only when the ignition is on. There's anotehr yellow which is left rear speker out.
