After overnight parking, when I start my 2000 Camry (100,000) miles and turn on the radio, all previous programed stations are lost. What could be the problem?

there is a "hot wire" 12 vdc (+) that provide a constant voltage to the radio, the way it "keep" the memory...
and should be "fused" if possible check the back of your radio for loose connector and all of the fuses...
i dont know what else could be the problem..

Suggested Repair

Check the constant 12-volt memory power wire to the original radio, its fuse, and the rear radio connector for a loose connection.
