95 Tercel electrical problems - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I recently bought a 95 tercel coupe with an aftermarket deck in it. I have a few of electrical problems that may be related. Every time the car is shut off I loose the radio presets. There is no power to the dome light. There is no power to the dash clock. Does anyone have a schematic or advice they can share? I hope I am posting this in the correct area.

Check your fuses. All those things that aren't getting power, including radio memory, could be on the same circuit with a blown fuse.

Thanks. I did check the fuses on the drivers side under dash panel. All good. I will check under the hood as well.

Was the installation done with a harness adapter? The red and yellow wires going to the deck need to be connect to the proper power sources. The yellow wire is always hot and will allow your radio to store and keep its presets. The red wire is switched on via your ignition switch. If your fuses are good, check and see how it was wired up. For your dome light problem, check your door switches. They are a small rubber boot in the door jam. Move them around a bit and see if the light comes on.

The CIG/RADIO fuse or DOME fuse will supply power to the dash clock.

Thanks to noahthefrog you were correct. It was a simple fuse. It was in the fuse / relay box under the hood adjacent to the battery. It was a fuse marked DOME.
Replaced the 15A burnt one and everything came back to life.
