Well I've had my 99 Forester for roughly 7 months now and am now really just starting to nit pick the small stuff in the car but something that has been an issue with it is it has never had memory on the radio. My dome light also does not work unless the key is in the on position, my headlights don't turn on unless in the on position, my trip meter resets everytime the car is shut off. Basically anything that needs a 12v constant source is useless. I thought the radio may have been wrongfully wired (which it was but thats another story) so I re-did the entire harness. When I went to check the radio for power, I had nothing. When I placed both the power wires (acc and constant from the merged harness) onto their correct wires, I had no power. When I placed both wires onto the constant 12v, I had no power. When I placed both power wires on the accessory wire, worked great! But no memory still of course.
So my question is basically, where do I start tracking down why I have no constant 12v source through my entire car? I'm not great at wiring which is why I'm unsure of where to start. I know there are fuses but I'm not sure which fuses are linked to the constant 12v. Thanks in advance all.

Once again thanks all!
