Radio/Clock resets regularly
Here lately, my radio resets to AM 590, the clock goes to 12:00 and the CD player seems to start reading each CD. This happens when I start the truck, mostly first thing in the morning. The presets don't get lost on the radio stations. It just goes to 590 AM. That is not a preset, nor is that a viable station in the area.
Any Ideas as to what is causing it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

I would start with the battery. Have you changed the battery since you bought it? 4 or 5 year battery seems like it might be a bit old and weak. I would think the voltage is getting too low and the radio is resetting. May also look at the battery connectors to make sure the are clean and making good contact.

Stereo systems have two power source wires. One (usually red) is for ignition power, that is, it only has power when the key is in the ON position. The other (usually yellow) is a constant 12 volt source. There may be a bad connection on your constant wire. I've had it happen to me before.

Thanks for the replies. The truck does start right up. I have an amp for the speakers and the Bazooka tube (2nd amp). That all seems fine.
I wonder if I could have the battery tested?
