Your battery terminals are most likely corroded or loose, but if you have no trouble starting the engine your radio constant power wire may be hooked up to a circuit that only works with the key on.

How do you reset the computer on a 97 Cadillac DeVille?

easy way is to disconnect the battery Answer #2: There is not just one 'computer' on this vehicle. Settings are maintained at various locations throughout the vehicle. Generally each component which has settings, contains an eprom to preserve those settings. For example: The radio will not lose its settings if the battery is disconnected. What does "reset" mean? I believe you need a laptop or other computing device with the appropriate software to be able to modify the settings of the vehicle. Some devices must be configured at a dealer. This helps protect against radio theft etc.
