I have an alpine cd player thats maybe 4 or 5 years old in my '93 jeep wrangler. Every time I start the jeep all the settings on the cd player get erased. The bass, treble, ect are back to 0 and the time says 12:00. I have the constant on wire[red] hooked directly to the battery with an inline fuse and the acc wire[yellow] pluged into the radio connection on the fuse block[thats how its set up on wranglers]. I thought that the constant on wire is what allows the settings to be saved?

The yellow wire is the constant power wire. The red wire is the accessory wire. That's the after-market standard. Switch the two wires and all will be well.

one of the wires in your radio is for the battery even when the ingition is off this wire has power so that your radio can keep memory settings, the other power wire is for your radio to work with the ignition, make sure this wires are connected properly, check the connection setting that came with your radio and that should work.

feels like that's stressed out incorrect. verify that the yellow /clock cord from the radio is stressed out to a cord that has ability all the timeand the pink/switched cord is appropriate to the cord that has ability basically even as the ignition is grew to grow to be on.

Sounds like the back up power source goes dead. Un plug the system and put a volt meter to it and turn it over and see if there is electrical spike. Good luck
