What year is your expedition? Mine is a 2006 and there were two power supplies going to the radio. One was lt green/violet which was constant 12v and the other was red that only had 12v when key was in acc or engine on (variable power).

One way you can check is to get a voltage meter and check the wires yourself or just tap into a fuse that only gets variable power
