Orange Radio Wire...

Okay, I screwed up my car somehow while soldering a few wires and there is no power going through the orange wire off the radio. I need to know if anyone knows where that ends up so i can either find the problem or run a new wire. Thanks.

I thought it went there but after tracing the wire back i didn't find it. Also, i wasn't sure if the continuous power of the ignition power went through the fuse box.

there is another fuse panel above the gas pedal if all the fuses are good in the other fuse panel check the one above the gas pedal. it is a small fuse panel that snaps up and is not visable unless you drop it down. had a gta come in that had no power to the orange wire at the radio and there was a fuse blown in there. replaced fuse and had power then(orange wire).

Okay, took some time to finally get the answer and since then i have spliced in a new wire but the there is a fuse labeled "arc radio" or "arc" In 85-89 the arc radio fuse is on the convience center. In 90-92 this is on the fuse box itself labeled arc, it's at the bottom. Both are 20 AMP fuses. Thanks to acescarrsRS for the help!
