Unhappy Paseo with electrical trouble

HI! I have a pretty useful Toyota Paseo!
Like you probably know when you have a older car it's better to have 2 !!!
Since I have that car I never had any mecanical problem with it !
She (Paseo) saved me a couple of time! My honda down all the time!!

I bought the car from a girl how tought she knew how to install a Sound system.
She had a sub in there. But the radio that was in there never work.
I took all the crappy wiring out!

I redid all the proper wiring for the radio, good and clean!!!
but I still have trouble with the radio/clock
when I take the key out notting work and I have to reset everything the next time.
I check all the fuses (including DOME and Rado/cigarette) they are good
my RED wire from the Radio is giving me the same has the batterie
**** BUT ONLY when the Key is at ACC
I could put a new wire running directly from the batt
but since I took all the crappy wiring from the girl out I didn't want to do the same.


Also since I started to fix that .. well now,
during a radio test the Engine light went ON and then
ALL Safety light are ON and now my car dosen't want to start!!
the car was running good before I try to fix the f**king Radio !!
Is there a wire from the radio that could be controling all that ?

I am getting confused right now

Can someone help me???

Check all the fuses in car and under hood. Factory toyota had memory wire for clock and station preset so find it and make sure it feeds memory on new radio. Run a ground wire from radio chassis to dash metal.

Yes I did check all the fuses again and again they are all good and at the right place
the thing is I don't have currant on the yellow wire for the radio
which is supose to have all the time to keep the radio and clock memory
and the red wire have currant only with the key on ACC which is ok
also my ground is on the frame

Is there anything else ?
Also do you know why suddenly all the safety light are on now since I played with the radio?

I found why the radio wasn't working !!
Due to the fact that it had some crapy electrical repair on the car before!!
It wasn't working because of a loose pin under the fuse DOME

The Radio is NOW Working !!

I still have to find why now the car isn't working !!
