look in your fuse panel and find the fuse labeled 'Radio battery" or "Radiosignal" and piggyback your signal wire with that fuse.

yeah, just get a test light and check to see if the fuse comes on when you turn the key back.

The signal wire turns it on and off. The radio fuse is probablyfor the power supply for the radio. Are you sure you don't have a fuse for 'Radio battery' or 'radio signal? Check the fuse diagram in your owners manual for any fuse thats related to the radio.
