Running a 12v constant for radio
 

I need to run a 12v constant power to my radio. The factory memory wire is affected by the power saving feature, and after installing the proper radio harness (gmrc-o3) the only problem i have now is the radio does not remember anything after the power saving thing kicks in after about 15 min. Does anyone know of a good place to run a wire to?

96 Deville
4.6 northstar
non-bose
non-amplified

I hope i didnt forget to mention anything
Thanks for any help

Are you just running the wire to the deck in the dash, or are you trin to runn it to the trunk for an aftermarket system?

Just the deck in the dash, thanks for replying but I allready ran one through the firewall and to the battery. Everything seems to be working fine, so far.

ohh, and I put in a 4A fuse just to be one the safe side

Usually the cigarette lighter receptacle is always with power @ 12 VDC.

that was my first thought, but the car cuts the power to it after 15 min, that power saving thing that stops you from draining your battery, anyways problems solved now

I'm tryin to gather info on adding an after market system to my 96 DeVille, waht's the story with running it to the trunk?

Same issue.
 

I have the same problem as you. I read that their is a 12v pink constant in the steering column,but I'm not messing around in there. What gauge of wire did you use and was 4amp fuse sufficient?
