[RESOLVED] Stereo stays on after install 95 GST

[DSMr916]

So I went to bypass my stock amp today with a scosche speaker level converter, and realized the stock amp is gone. So I matched up all the speaker wires correctly. My problem is the only way I can get the stereo to work is if I connect the yellow(memory) and red(power) wires from my stereo harness to the car's red stereo wire. I know this is not right. Am I missing a wire or what? Also the antenna is not plugged in because I need to buy a connector for it. Thanks for the help.

Memory wire goes to constant 12v source and power goes to the wire that supplies power when you turn the key to on(can't think of the exact name of wire)

thanks, but I need to know what color the other wire is that the red wire goes to. I only saw one solid red wire in the stock harness so I figure that is the constant 12V. So where would the red wire off the stereo harness go?

thanks for all of the help guys. I fixed the problem by wiring the red wire straight to the cigar lighter fuse. Works great and sounds great. Thanks again.
