My 2011 ram rhr radio losses memory when I turn key off

A dodge RAM truck, that?
RHR means what?
all radios (most) have wire called, 12vdc memory wire,.
if that wire is cut broken shorted or fuse to it blown memory will be dead. it is that simple.
or installed wrong, did someone do that?, or is radio stock like it was 2011.? then is fuse blown.
RHR I think is Dodge real radio name best I can tell (vast radios exist)
Dodge (FCA) calls those fuses, IOD.
there is one for the radio too, day 1 new out the door
and the factory pulls them all , just before the cars ship to the dealer.
so the battery is not a wreak on deliver.
Iignition OFF , drains, is the name or as we ETs call it memory power. and is.
this wire on radios since 1970, first transistor car radios with station memory, so 50 years now same story ..
main power and ground, IN.
memory power In.
antenna power.>>>out.
speaker.>> out.

a scan toll will also show DTC error for and IOD fuse blown
amazing no?
or lost communications DTC errors making radio fail.(in odd ways)
newer cars the RADIO is married to the BCM
and if IOD blown or comms fail
radio can not save memory.

here is the SM quote on this car dodge RAM 2011
U0184-LOST COMMUNICATION WITH RADIO
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information. When Monitored: Continuously when the ignition is on. Battery voltage between 10 and 16 volts. Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fused installed. Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) is configured correctly. Set Condition: Bus messages not received from the Radio for approximately two to five seconds. Diagnostic Test VERIFY THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IS ACTIVE Make sure the IOD fuse is installed and the battery is fully charged before proceeding. Turn the ignition on. With the scan tool, read the active DTCs. Is this DTC active? Yes (Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM)/Diagnosis and Testing)(Refer To List 1) and perform the U0184-87-Lost Communication with Radio - Missing Message diagnostic procedure. No (Refer to Non-DTC Diagnostics/Communication - Diagnosis and Testing)(Refer To List 2) and perform the Stored Lost Communication DTCs diagnostic procedure. List 1 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics / MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM), DS/DJ/D2 - Pickup / Diagnosis and Testing 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics / MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM), DD/DP - Chassis Cab / Diagnosis and Testing List 2 29 - Non-DTC Diagnostics / Communication, DS/DJ/D2 - Pickup / Diagnosis and Testing 29 - Non-DTC Diagnostics / Communication,
...

as you and see , you can not fix modern cars lacking a scan too.
can not. (even 10 computer in the car) see this???????????

Radio will not come on. Which wires supply power to Toyota Highlander Radio ( Not the speakers.) and what color are they?

fuses need to be tested, if the LOOK good, they can be bad
turn key on
all fuses, 12vdc on both side,s this is 100% ACCURATE WAY to test in a live circuit.

cars come with up to radio options and 1000s more after market.
if stock
alldata.com has this page. radio schematic.

your fuse is blown,
hair line cracks are impossilbe to see, unless 10years old.or?
Xray man. ( Xmen?)_
learn to use a voltmeter and save tons of time and hair pulls.

with radio on, key on, only 2 wire read, 12v,
memory
power
if the power wire is dead the fuse is blown.
newer cars use the standard
http://knowledge.sonicelectronix.com/car-audio-and-video/accessories-and-installation/wiring-harness-color-standards/

red wire aftermarket
oem use what they feel.
buy the radio adaptor at walfart, and see pin that has power
or alldata.com,log in read
ever google?????

Radio no power

got a voltmeter,
make sure the ground wire is 0volts , key on, radio on.
then make sure all 12vdc power wires, on radio have 12vdc.
some have 3.lines. (and a 12v out to antenna motor (skip that)
radio power, memory, and dial lamp.
the radio power must be hot. or radio will be DEAD.

it's that simple , any DMM even the dirt cheap one at walfart does this.
the meter will never lie to you, and can also check your bad fuses.
0 ohms good'
infinity ohms bad fuse.
easy huh?

After replacing battery in 2002 Toyota Sequoia, radio losses memory everytime vehicle is started. What is wrong?

The radio uses a constant power to retain memory(stations,settings,ect.) and switched power to run on. It sounds like there is a problem with the constant power connection. You can first check the fuse box for any blown fuses and replace any that are found. Also look around the battery for any wires with an inline fuse that could be broken. Try looking under the dash near the radio for any inline fuse holders that could have a blown fuse. You might need to pull the radio and start tracing the constant 12v power wire. First verify that it does have power and if it does then the radio may have been damaged from a voltage spike when the new battery was installed. If the wire does not have power then you will need to start tracing the wire back to the source of the short. It sounds to me like a blown fuse somewhere....

I can't see anything on the front of my car radio its a kenwood cd changer KRC-387

cHEAK ALL THE FUSES FOR THE CAR THE CIG LIGHTER , RADIO BODY AND DO THE DASH LIGHTS WORK AND OTHER CAR THINGS WORK RIGHT. THEN THATS GOOD CHEACK THE WRES CONNECTED TO THE RADIO MANY INSTALLERS USE POOR TECHNIQUES TO CONNECT THE WIRES TWISH TOGETHER AND TAPE! Soldered connections that are shrink wrapped and carefully routed and tied off work good and look like the manufactor of the car did it the power or ground wires way have disconnected cheak them as most aftermarket radios tell whitch wires are to be power and what kind ( key on, Battery, dash liughts,) and the ground. If these all test good then the radio mayhave blown it's fuse. ( a speaker wire could be crossed) if all appears good even though you gave good money for the radio their not worth fixing them for internal damage and it's timefor anew one
