dash light cluster

My gta has recently, in the past two days, started having lights turn on on my dash. The seatbelt light will come on while I'm driving and wearing my seat belt mind you. Not sure if wires are just messed up or if it is something serious. Also cannot get my stereo to hold memory got it wired up to work with everything right except for them memory. Does anyone have advice?

Re: dash light cluster

Did you use the factory wires for your radio? I would check grounds. Also the key buzzer is part of the selt belt warning light circuit (though my key buzzer works, I have never heard a noise for my seat belts while driving). The key buzzer is on the convience center located under the dash about where your right knee would be when driving. Its a socket with the key buzzer and hazard (not turn signal) relay plugged into it.

Ok just addressing the radio, the power for the radio should be a yellow wire. That would give 12volts with the key on or in ACC postision.
The hot at all times for memory is orange. Normally orange wires are hot wires.
