If lucky, only a constant power source fuse. Are other items like the dome or trunk light out as well ? Look in the fuse boxes for open (blown,defective) fuses, should also be some spare fuses located in the boxes as well.

the car is like the lowest grade of lowest...minus the fact it has a factory tach and a/c.....

dome light works, has no trunk light....fuses are fine...

Sounds like it's wired wrong, and not getting any power when the car is off. Do you radio station presets stay, or do those get wiped out every time you turn the car off too??

the stations stay preset, i have no problem with that, just the clock..

Something in the radio itself is fried then. Who is "the guy"??

a staff sergeant i work with, he is a decent mechanic and good with his hands as far as working on stuff but i think he screwed up on this one

Yeah, sounds like you're gonna need a new HU. Before you do that, I guess you could try taking it apart and see if there is a blown fuse or loose connection on the inside. Maybe the jolt just popped a wire off somewhere.

Oh, i have no idea what it is, then. I just assumed it was in the radio.
