    I had the same issue before and the orange/Yellow wire was either connected/touching to the red somehow or on the wrong wires. Take the radio out and hook up to a 12v battery make sure it works that way to determine if a Unit issue.

    It's in my civic 98.. Uhhmi tried two different headunits one out f my buddies civic with harness an all and it just did the same thing...

    Now the fuse up front in the bay for the radio was blown so I took out the 7.5 and put in a 10..would that create a issue since it isn't a 7.5

    i have had aftermarket harnesses that were pinned wrong before. that may be the issue. if not get a probe to test for current. probe the red wire or ignition acc wire with the key turned on to see if you get power . and make sure the harness you used is pinned correctly.
    yes i am....

    changing fuse sizes doesnt do anything..check to make sure you have 12 volts constantly on the yellow wire,and make sure you have 12 volts when the ignition is on on the red wire

    The fuse under your hood is for your memory (yellow) wire and like someone else said it sounds like you do not have ignition (red) the fuse for that one is under your dash on the driver side try checking that out
