my clock keeps resetting to 1:00

Hey fellas,

wondering if you have ever run into this or know anything about it

Every time (recently, since my battery died and got it jumped) I turn my truck on, the clock has reset itself back to 1:00, like the battery was dead, even though it wasn't. My gauge says the battery has over 13V....

You guys know what the problem might be?

Cheers

 

Sounds to me like the constant power to the clock is being interupted when the key is off.

If you can figure out how to get to the clock power "without too much trouble" it would be easy to check.

 

anyone know where the clock gets the power?

 

scan the banks?

 

cheers....

ill look into it, and get back to you

 

so i found the clock section, but I don't really know what that means...

I don't understand how to read the blueprints

where is the actual connections and relays and fuses for the clock in the truck?

 

Anybody?

 

Check all your fuses. When you jumped it, it might have blown somehow. GL

 

No, if you blow a fuse, the clock wouldn't work at all.

 

I still would atleast check the fuses, it will take you all of 5 min. We had a Chevy conversion van that would reset the radio everytime we turned it off. Come to find out it was a fuse. GL

 

evening bump

 

It may be early signs of an alternator crapping out...

 

dang.... that would suck...

even though my voltage stays right around 13.4?

 

Here's another tip....don't let the lobster sit too long on your counter-top or 2 things will happen. 1) Someone will come by and eat it. 2) It will go bad and therefore you won't be able to enjoy it.

 

Indeed sir, good words....
and being from Maine, that is something I would never let happen

 

bump

 

Not sure if people care or not, but if anyone ever searches and needs an answer...

I took off my battery terminals, cleaned and tightened them, took a peek at all my fuses (none were popped)
Problem solved. Little perplexed, but it looked like, with a soft/weak connection of battery, the clocked wanted to reset every time

 

I realize this is an OLD thread...but it came up when I searched "Clock Reset 1:00". It DID turn out to be the dome light fuse that looked okay at first glance. When I checked very carefully...it was blown. Replaced it and the dome lights work and the clock memory holds.

 

having that issue now. I'll check the dome light fuse

 

Anything else change? Your truck may be a time machine now. Reliving the same day from 1:00 on, forever till you fix it and clean the Chernobyl off of the battery....


Sorry, useless and not helpful. But it popped into me head when i read the title.
