HELP
I recently installed a GM acdelco factory radio in my s10 Model No
16232131
everything works with exception of the button lights & the thing that
really is annoying is The clock doesnt keep time FOR EXAMPLE I can
set
the time to say 12:00 drive around for a half hour it will keep time
and say 12:30 when I stop and shut motor off ill come out a half hour
later start up and instead of saying 1:00 it will still say 12:30 and
somtimes it even reverts back to its default of 1:00. But It keeps my
radio stations in memory I can call up any preset stations I
programed
NOTE:this radio DOES NOT have a SET Button like some early 90s models
it has an HR & Min Button. I had anouther radio same model it does
the
samthing (CD doent work thats why I replaced) thats what lends me to
think its something else I did. Also if u have any idea why the
lights
dont work  tune and volume light works just buttons dont

That sounds like you have a wire in the wrong place or not hooked up.
Some stereos have a wire to the dash lights so they dim with them and
come on/off with them.

Some stereos also need a constant power line for the clock.  My son has
one of those.  His stations will stay, but the clock won't when he first
hooked it up.  It had light issues too I think.  I then convinced him to
RTFM to see what wire is 'supposed' to go where.  The wire he thought
was for power antenna actually was a constant power in line....

My stereo is strange.  I broke the fuse for the constant power line, yet
everything still works including station memory....
