Royce, If you can find a brown wire under the dash area somewhere they are normally hot all the time. You want it before it goes thru main or accessory the relay. I ran one from a Circuit breaker to the under dash in my car for easy testing with a 10ga wire.

If I switch it back to lgrn/wht, then at least the radio deck comes on when I start the car, but none of the radio settings stay. Also, I don't have a blue wire coming from the Delorean at all. How can I get a power wire that either works, or how can I check the purple wire, I tried to follow the path to where it goes, but was unsuccessful.
