Radio losing stations every time you start car up then you have to program them back in. It works fine with key on and off as long as you do not crank the car, but sometimes you can drive the car several miles cut it off then start car up and it work fine, then you can stop some where else then start it back up and it has lost all stations again.

Check Radio 1 and ECU/IG fuses in the fuse panel behind the dash to the left of the steering column, and the radio 1 fuse in the fuse box under the hood. The radio 1 fuse is supposed to retain the radios memory so if it is bad or the contacts are bad it will act that way.
