Default Radio forgets settings and overdrive bulb does not illuminate

Hey guys,

Recently my radio has been forgetting its settings every time the key is turned off. It always resets to 12:00 and like AM station 430 or something like that.

Also, it seems like at the same time, my O/D bulb is not working. The overdrive button works just fine, but the light does not illuminate. Are these related at all? Could it be a fuse?

Hopefully my ECU is not resetting everytime I turn off the key?

Thanks

i'd guess yes on the fuse.
the time/presets are maintained by the constant 12 volt wire to the the radio. not sure what color that is in the radio connector harness. the radio operates on another wire which is switched on/off by the ignition. both would have fuses.
