For no apparent reason my clock keeps on reseting, the radio still keeps its set stations, but the clock would just randomly reset while driving.

What could be the problem for this?
Thanks in advance

 

Sounds like your clock is taking its last breath.

 

something is wrong with my clock too it doesnt work ever since i took out my sony headunit, plus on the bose, my radio stations keep reseting wtf?

 

Your constant power isn't working probably at the clock test at the clock with a voltmeter to make sure you're getting constant power if you are then everythings okay you just need another clock

My clock doesn't work at all.....guess i need a new one. I'm gonna 'bench test' it first tho

 

Constant power not there

 

Mine turns off, then I tap on it, and the light comes back on, but its at 1:00. Then sometimes when I tap on it, its still on the right time. That shyt is weird.

 

what do you mean constant powere not there? what would be the cause for that?

Also i just droped a new engine in the car, can there be something that the mechanic not connected properly for that problem to be happening?

 

Obviously you need constant power for your clock to keep time, when you take your key out the light on the clock goes out but the clock keeps time= receiving constant power source, you'll have at least 3 wires running into the back of your clock, test them with a light meter or volt meter without the keys in the ignition, one of them should have power if so then you need a new clock if not you'll need to figure out which lead should give constant power, find another and split it off to your clock, I highly doubt you'll have to do this latter part, but 99 % sure you'll need a new/used clock, there about 4 of them on ebay right now, seach MAXIMA CLOCK

 

well it probly will help the power since the clock keeps time while off, it only resets while driving, which is the wierd part.
But yea, guess its time to get a new clock

thanks

 

Hmm I know on my old 3rd gen the clock would go out due to bad solder joints. If you look in the 3rd gen forums should find a writeup for how to fix this. Haven't had problems yet on the 4th gen but if it happens that is my guess.

 

this only happen to me when i took out my headunit

 

The clock in my 97 reset a few weeks ago while driving. Not sure why, but it seems to be working fine now. Hopefully it will keep working.

 

yea, mine is 97, it did that a few times in the past but it becamore more frequent now to the extent that im tyred of putting the correct time back on it

 

Careful if you take the clock apart...i recently completed a mod called "Do not screw with my time".....it involves losing the little pieces that allow you to set the minutes and hours. Btw, you can replace then with the buttons from a tv remote.

 

lol, thanks for the heads up

 

probably didnt engage the connector on the back of the clock when you put in a new head unit
