    Good morning everybody, sorry another quick question. Does anybody else have problems with the clock staying the correct time? this morning when i got in it was wrong. (Battery was not dead, started up like nothing was wrong) This does not happen all the time. only one other time when i had a chipped key problem, as mentioned in this thread

    Is this something i should be concerned about?

    Format your computer and start from scratch. :) That's what I do when something goes wrong.

    I was kidding. I thought you meant the computer. I've heard of people's computer clock resetting after each reboot.

    Seeing that your in a '07 I'm hoping your still in warrany. Take it to the dealer explain your concerns and see if they will run a diagnostic to see if any codes are showing? If nothing else there may be a new clock in your future.:confused:

    I am actually having a similar issue with my clock but not only does it lose its ability to stay on the correct time it dims out and no longer is viewable a few minutes after startup. I end up having to push on the face of it like when you use to push on the screen of those old solar calculators during class to brighten the numbers so they were easier to read. I have an appointment to get a couple of other minor electrical issues taken care of tomorrow morning and will ask if they have heard or know the solution to this problem. Also, I am not sure what the clock looks like on the 07' but I cant imagine it being that much different than my 95. I'll keep you posted.
