radio loses presets

[Chris]

The factory radio in my '97 Legacy loses the presets and clock
whenever the car is turned off. It started doing this w/o any warning
and there do not seem to be other electrical issues. Any ideas? Thanks
in advance.

There's usually a 12v. (always hot) fuse on the radio circuit. The
radio may be running on the ignition only circuit. This would cause
the problem you describe.

It happenned once to me (I mean on my radio) this winter on my 2.5TS 2002,
when temp was -30 degrees.

Since the presets and clock require a voltage to be present when the
ignition is off I would check for the fuse that powers the clock and make
sure it's good and the connections are clean. Remove the fuse to check. Ed
