Do you loose the memory for the stations too ?
The memory is on a different circuit than the power for the radio, that fuse could be blown.

Geo prizm radio 1993. All of a sudden radio won't go on at all. switch seems a little loose but no clock time showing power either. Says it shares a fuse with cig lighter and that works. Help!

seems so. the cig answers are wrong. its ACC fuse runs radio on PRIZM.93
we dont even know what radio is there.
on old cars most have had the radio replace 3 times.
stock (not likely this old ,no?) cassettes?????
then CD added
then CD/DVD/MP3 added
then media center the does everything even runs
MP3(etc) on a USB stick (best of best forever)
see? or ipod, port. etc.etc... even SAT radios.

that is the point here, we cant SEE< we are blind
why ask the blind for help.?
zero photos posted. as are 99.9% on this forum.
and fails mostly just for that one fact here.

why not just buy a better radio head end.?
and the adaptor kit that allows you to just
plug it in and not mangle all those stock wires.
the kit is sold in all autostores in the USA
for like $15 bucks. dirt cheap.
then install the new head end.
this is what all folks do.
or get it done by those that do...

Clock stopped, is there a fuse for this?

If you are talking about the clock in the radio, it gets power from the dome light circuit. Its also connected to radio memory so if that circuit blew a fuse you would also lose your station memory.

Fix keep alive memory 1991 olds

If your asking about the radio channels and radio clock, there is a wire that is always hot that has to be connected to the radio's always alive wire. If it is not hooked to the wire that is always hot, (like hooked to an ignition wire) then it will not be hot and every time the ignition is turned off, you will lose the clock time and channels memory. If you have a test light, check the wires at the radio (with the key off) and see which one is hot. If none are hot, then you have a blown fuse or wire broken.

I change the time on the clock but when I turn the motor off and restart, the time goes back to the original time. How do I get it to keep the time after I change it?

does cigarette lighter work you most likely have a blown fuse in the memory of clock it is part of the stereo but has 2 fuses that function it, power and memory. If its in the radio/clock all presets on radio usually go out to, look for blown fuse.

My radio, car alarm, interior lights do not work on my 2006 subaru tribeca

The solution for the interior lights temp gauge etc. not working is the fuse under the hood as mentioned above.
As for the clock resetting, your battery is probably about to go. The tribeca turns off power to the vehicle if voltage drops below a certain level to save enough power to start back up. This causes the clock to lose memory.

Got 1998 Honda Civic - both clock and radio lose memory when ignition is turned off any ideas why this is? Power to getting to both radio and clock but memory goes.

There should be a backup radio (clock) fuse (probably in your inside-the-car fuse box). Sounds like it might not be there, or it is blown. It is normally removed in order to clear trouble codes from the computer.
When you do that (remove it to clear trouble codes), the clock and the radio have to be reset, so it sounds like that fuse may be missing (the car will run without it).
Hope this helps you.

Radio does not turn on. the clock shows,the light

The memory wire of the radio,(the power for the clock and channel settings) is usually connected to the same circuit as the cigarette lighter. (there is a seperate fuse for radio) Check your cigarette lighter socket for damage or dirt, etc. could be causing the memory fuse to blow. Also check your cig lighter accesories (like cell phone chargers,etc.)

P.S. The backlight is also a seperate circuit (connected to interior light/parking light circuit)
