First you should take the deck out and the yellow wire is your memory it shoul have full time power and not hooked to your dash lights this will cure your memory problem and possibly the cd problem. If you know how to use a multi meter test all wires on DC setting on meter and your looking for 12 volts all the time key switch on or off for the yellow memory wire then for the red wire you need 12 volts only when the key switch is turned on. Then the black wire is the ground no voltage at all. Hope this helps. leve feedback if so.

Red wire is labeled ACC. What if I can't find a

The only danger is that you will forget to turn the unit off completely when you leave the vehicle and will come back to a flat battery.
My car is an old classic and has no ACC position. My choices were to wire it solely to the ignition live (and lose the unit presets when turned off) or to make it permanently live, so I chose the latter. If leaving the car unattended for more than a week I put the fascia back on for a moment and ensure that the unit is definitely off and not just in battery draining standby mode. It still consumes a tiny trickle of power when switched off to maintain it's internal memory, but nothing significant.
So no harm if you need to connect to permanent live, but if you do have an ACC live circuit then it's worth spending extra time to find it.

No sound or lights

make sure the yellow wire has power all the time and the red wire has power when the key is on. Most likely you do not have power to the red.

Can I plug a all in one stereo and amp into another high powered amp?

It shouldn't do, but the final amp may run into an overload protection situation. Basically you are using the first amp as a pre-amp to the second amp. I have done this before way back in the 1970s. Start them running at low volume on both amps. Another outcome is distortion in the speakers, not from the lack of capacity of the speakers, but from the second amp straining from data from the pre-amp. https://www.google.com/search?q=Can+I+plug+one+stereo+and+amp+into+another+high+powered+amp ..

I have a 3000 watt Boss mono block amp that is stuck in protection mode and green light is flashing any ideas on how to fix it plz

It's a inexpensive amp, and poorly made. the amplifier failed. you won't be able to fix it unless you open it up and happen to have a degree in electrical engineering, or have the schematics to that particular amp and access to the parts like the transistors/finals and power supply bits to replace the damaged parts. chances are you blew mosfet(s) in that case the amp is a paperweight. Sorry for the bad news. I had a couple of Boss amps and after second one fried went with another brand. Ck out amps on Azon. Best to you.

I have a used boss audio BB8 and need to install in my 2010 gmc sierra denali.

It's possible that the Boss Audio BB8 unit may work without the remote control dial, but it's best to check the manual or contact the manufacturer to be sure. As for the RCA outputs, it's best to use an RCA output if your stock tuner does not have RCA outputs. You can either purchase the harness for high input or the variable LOC and convert it to RCA. However, the best option for you depends on the specific requirements of your system and the compatibility of the equipment. It's always a good idea consult the manual before making any changes to your car audio system.

If I have a boss 4000 watt 1 ohm amp would that push a 12 w7

As it is 4kW (peak music power) into 1 Ohm you may get 1kW (peak music power) into 3 Ohms. Peak Music Power is four times the actual power as it is only for a split second. About 800W RMS, (if you are lucky).

Model pv3700. Why does it make a squealing noise?

If the mic is too close to the speakers, you get feedback. The easiest test for that cause is to unplug the mic. Lowering the volume could help if it is in fact feedback.
