ac delco radio not keeping time

HELP I recently installed a GM acdelco factory radio in my s10 Model No

16232131 everything works with exception of the button lights & the thing that really is annoying is The clock doesnt keep time FOR EXAMPLE I can set the time to say 12:00 drive around for a half hour it will keep time and say 12:30 when I stop and shut motor off ill come out a half hour later start up and instead of saying 1:00 it will still say 12:30 and somtimes it even reverts back to its default of 1:00. But It keeps my radio stations in memory I can call up any preset stations I programed NOTE:this radio DOES NOT have a SET Button like some early 90s models it has an HR & Min Button. I had anouther radio same model it does the samthing (CD doent work thats why I replaced) thats what lends me to think its something else I did. Also if u have any idea why the lights dont work tune and volume light works just buttons dont

Check to see that it is wired so that the continous power wire on the radio is getting +12v when the ignition switch is in the off position.

Dumb question but does the dome light work? Might not mean anything but the dome light is connected to a circuit which is always live and some radios take the current for the clock (and sometimes presets) from this circuit.

Not all cars though.

Is it the correct radio for that vehicle? What year is the S10 and what years is the radio and what model did the radio come out of. They are not all the same. SOme GM radio clocks are updated by the Body Control Module through a serial data line. If u can tell me the connector configuration I can help you. If u can take a dig photo of the connectors even better.

You forgot to connect the two pin connector that has the orange and brown wires. If it is pre 1990. Or the fuse for that circuit is blown.
