no constant power in my car..pls help

- Wed Aug 10, 2011 5:44 am #266955 ok so i have no constant power through out my car...(bought the car like this...but didnt relize)..my radio will always loose its time and my programed stations...and the clock on my dash is always starting at 1:00....and im not sure if this will cause any other problems like making my check engine light from not coming on (as if when you disconnect a battery and you have a check engine light on and it goes off because you are clearing any previous codes) or anything like that....i am good with radios so i have already fixed that problem but im still stuck on the clock...and im concerned the CEL might be getting bypassed...any thoughts or opinions?????it would greatly be appreciated

Not having that fuse would also reset your ECU every time you shut the car off. It's your backup power.
