    you didn't connect your memory wire (accesory) it should be red on the after-market wiring harness.

    If you cant figure it out just run a wire to the fuse box and hook it to a fuse thats on all the time.

    Well just cutting wires is obviously not the way to go unfortuately If you can piece back the wires correctly, I would recommend doing that and getting an aftermarket coupler designed to alleviate just these kind of problems you are having.

    Yeah, it's about $10-15 to get an adapter and unless you know exactly what you're doing... it not only makes it easier but (usually) allows for a cleaner install.

    Same thing will happen if you reverse the accessory and the power wires.
