    Don't run the wire directly to the battery for the clock, run it to an unswitched fuse in the fuse box like the cigarette lighter. You should be able to trace the radio circuit from the fuse box to up under the dash where the radio is. I don't know what color the wire is, I never found mine and ran a new one. Whoever had my car previously must have been playing a joke on me. :)

    The cigarette lighter wire is an excellent choice for this purpose..it should be light blue with a white stripe...
