Radio problem

My radio stopped working for about two weeks and then suddenly started working again. The problem now is every time I shut the engine off I lose all the radio station presets and clock preset. When I start the engine I have to reset the clock and radio stations only to lose them all again when I shut down the engine. Otherwise the radio is working fine. Anybody know what's going on?

The radio has 2 power wires going to it; one comes on with the key switch, and the other is always on to keep the clock and station memories alive. I think that second wire on your radio is having a connection problem. Was someone working under the dash at the time the first failure occured?

I don't have access to wiring diagrams, but if you can find one, look for the wire that is suppose to be always on, and trace it back to the fuse block.
