There should be a black ground wire in the Chevy Celebrity radio wiring harness. If for whatever reason that is not available then simply hook a wire from the metal shell of the radio to a convenient point on the dashboard near the radio. I would use a convenient bolt or screw if at all possible.

How do you Hook up a citizens band radio in a car?

The easiest way would be to hook your hot to your battery, run that wire through the firewall into the passenger compartment, and run an inline fuse in the wire to your CB at some point (for a regular CB radio, five amps should be sufficient - for a converted 10 meter radio, such as a Connex 3300HP, you'll want to go 8 - 10 amps). Then you ground the wire to a bolt which you can complete a ground with.. you can use a DMM (digital multimeter) to determine where a sufficient ground may be found at. You can also wire it into your fuse panel (the cigarette lighter is a commonly used one).

Why do i have to reset radio stations each time i turn car off?

Your radio must be poorly installed in your car for you to reset your stations every time you turn your car off. A car radio ultimately rely on 3 wires for it to function properly. 12 volt wire- Gives Continuous Positive current to radio. Saves your settings, and Saves your stations when your car is off and on. Ground wire- Gives Negative current to radio. Work with the Positive current going to your radio coming from the 12 wire. Without this wire connected, your radio wont function at all. Accessory wire- Will only provide Positive current to radio when the car turn ON. This wire is used to make sure the radio will turn on with your car. The reason you have to keep resetting your stations every time you turn on your car is because someone connected both 12volt wire and Acc wire that's from the radio into the Acc wire in the car. There's no continuous positive current going to the radio when the car is off because the 12volt wire in the car was not used. I'm a professional MECP Certified Mobile Electronic Installer. Let me know if you are confused or have any more questions regarding your audio system.
