Lost 12V ACC to radio (pin 4)

I replaced the OEM radio today, it had a balky AM/FM switch. I put a $100 clarion in that has iPOD controls built in.

The new radio did not turn on, however. I found that somehow along the way I lost the ACC power, no power at the connector pin 4 regardless of IGN switch position. I swapped fuses around, they are good. Is it just my luck that I broke a wire? The pin looks good I did not abuse it when I removed the old radio. I patched the radio power to constant battery temporarily and verified the radio works. The radio doesn't turn on and off with the ACC of course, but I am not looking forward to tracing a broken wire. :(

It is a yellow 2004 hatchback BTW, affectionally know as Buttercup.

Just run the power wire from your radio strait to the ignition switch fuse

Thanks, after posting this I thought the same thing..

From rading about faulty clocks on here sharing the radio. I'll ask, did you check both radio fuses?

There are three fuses, one on the ACC feed, another on the illumination circuit, and another on the constant B+ feed. The clock and radio share the same three fuses. The clock and the other ACC items like the power outlet work just fine.
