WTF.... why does my clock auto resets

I came back from Nissan and I just did the tranny fluid exchange and as I was driving home the clock resetted it self to 1:00 i was like huh? how the hell this happend and I thought they did it so I setted it back to the reg time. The next day I started driving and noticed the car resetted it self. Guys what can it be somthing they did or it's something electrically going bad.

P.S It also happends when I have the car on the on position and when the radio is playing turn the key off then start the car up or put it back to the on postion this crap happends.
Thanks.

is there a fuse for the clock? if so you should inspect it to see if it is blown/damaged. it's probably on the drivers side under the wheel in the fuse box

Yea I noticed my clock to do this some also the other day. But it has gone completely out also and I had to hit it and when I did the time showed up as 1. I was like wtf. And then the other day it looked not as bright in some spots so I hit it and it became bright again. It has happened to me 2-3 times past week. First week it done it.

So you guys say we need a new clock? Well that sucks. My car just falling apart. I give up.

It might just be a loose wire under there. Have you had any of that apart lately? also, check the fuse block, may be a loose connection there. Same for the fella that changed his color. I did that a few weeks ago, and no troubles like that. If the fuse was blown, the clock wouldn't lite at all.

I took a look at the car today and I looked at the electrical fuses and the fuse box that's on the drivers side and I might have found the problem and the fuse has been dirty so I cleaned it and put it back in and it is working so far nothing bad yet. The the fuse # is 7.5 A top on the right coulmn and it's the part that's highlighted in white saying ELECTRICAL PARTS . The fuse color is red. This should solve my problem now but it it does not I will post and put a new fuse . For the ones that had there lights dimmed I would take out the clock and check the loses connections.

mine's doing the same thing, i checked all my fuses and everything seems to check out.

if it goes blank, it comes back on only if i hit my dash. i'm really getting sick of having to adjust my time at least once a day.
