Default radio doesnt work, clock resets

93 civic.
the ground wire for the radio doesnt connect to the body and every few days the clock just flashes brighter and resets to 1:00 im thinking these are both cause by the same problem...anyone know where in the wire would be a good place to start looking? or should i just run a wire from the radio ground to the chassis and see if it fixes the prob? by the way, the fuses are fine.

thanx

radio and clock are related to the 7.5 amp fuse in the under hood box ....replace it even if it looks ok.
