'91 Accord Radio Power Question
Phil 24 March 2005 07:04:32
	The radio in our '91 Accord would quit working frequently, the display fading in and out, so I decided to replace the unit with a Panasonic CD player. No problem, until I tried to locate the battery power lead that provides 12V power all the time. This lead and all radio wiring leads are clearly identified on the old Honda radio. Problem is, the continous power lead is dead. And the Panasonic radio needs that lead to work, along with power from the 12V Accessory lead. I provided 12 volt power from a terminal in the fuse box, via a wire, and the Panasonic unit worked. Without this power, it is dead, even with power from the Accessory position. Question is, anyone know anything about the 12V battery lead to the radio dying, and why? All fuses look good. Secondly, where is a good source to get continous 12V battery power, even with the key out of the ignition? Thank you, - Phil

With the factory stereo, the constant power wire is used only for backup of the FM presets etc., it is not used to power the stereo. Power to the stereo comes through the ignition switched wire. On the after market stereo, power is taken from the constant on wire, the ignition switched wire is used only to sense if ignition is on or off. The constant on wire you used is fused with a 7.5A fuse and is shared with the clock and the memory backup for the ECU. If you crank up the volume a bit, you can easily exceed the 7.5A fuse rating. It is better to pull a new wire from the under-dash fuse-box. It has options connectors just for this purpose. Options connector "D" in your Accord is always on, fused with a 50 Amp fuse located in the under-hood fuse box. You will need to supply your own 10 Amp (or whatever is recommended in the manual for the new stereo) fuse in line with the wire to the stereo.

	Thank you for the informative answer. I may do as you suggested, but right now, am wrestling with just trying to get the thing physically mounted! What a pain! Impossible to gain access to fasten the rear of the unit to anything under dash. - Phil "Randolph" <trash@junkmail.com> wrote in message news:42427954.E85BF897@junkmail.com...> Phil wrote:>> Thank you.
