    Problem just started but i notice everytime i shut my car off the stereo goes off (Which it didn't before i had to manually shut it off) and then when i turn the car back on the stations have been reset and also my gauge that says the MPG and BOOST and all that is reset also.. What could this be? I have a good battery with no corrosion.. Any idea? Thanks

    is it a stock radio? if its aftermarket, your memory wire may have come loose/disconnected...if so, just pull out the radio and reconnect the memory wire (if i'm not mistaken it should be the yellow wire? maybe?)

    good luck

    Could be a bad ground somewhere?

    Well here's an update: i checked the memory wire on the stereo and it's fine not touching anything.. my aftermarket stereo used to save all my stations and all that and now it acts like a stock stereo turning off when i open the doors.. and thats fine but it's erasing all my settings and also my gauges above the stereo with the MPG and all that (sorry i don't know the name for it) is getting erased too my MPG go to 00.0 every time i turn my key on.. What could be the problem? No wires are touching on the stereo so I'm confused.. Please let me know if you have any idea.. Thank you

    sounds to me like a wire may be crossed for the battery constant or ACC. if it was taped into the cicuit for the DIC unit.... check farther into the dash..... and check the inline fuse.
