Could be a number of things.

  • Battery discharged or getting there.
  • Loose ground behind the radio unit itself

Jeeps do weird things when the battery is low. If your battery is 4-5 years old or more, its pretty much time to replace it, even if your engine starts normally.

Check the ground wire behind the radio unit. If its loose, it can cause the radio to shut off randomly and not work at certain times, also can cause the radio to lose memory.

My radio, car alarm, interior lights do not work on my 2006 subaru tribeca

The solution for the interior lights temp gauge etc. not working is the fuse under the hood as mentioned above.
As for the clock resetting, your battery is probably about to go. The tribeca turns off power to the vehicle if voltage drops below a certain level to save enough power to start back up. This causes the clock to lose memory.

I'm looking for the indash clock wire connection for my 2000 Toyota 4Runner. I would prefer a photo. I was working on my aftermarket radio CD player and reinstalled it. The clock was working before that.

There is 1 fuse for the clock: If your audio system is working then that fuse is OK (instrument panel 18 15 amp fuse). Check it out just to be safe, you never know. If the fuse is OK then the clock itself has gone bad. I've heard of this happening after radio installs, no idea why. Anyway, I have clock removal instructions at www.autoclockrepair.com. I also offer a very affordable repair service with a lifetime guarantee.

I have a 1995 toyota corolla that the clock has started resetting itself to random times while the car is on. All other electricals seem to be functioning fine, just the clock. Any suggestions besides...

The clock will reset to 1:00, I believe, if its power supply is interrupted and then resumed. This could happen randomly if the clock's electrical connectors have come loose. To verify this, you would need to pull the clock and radio dash panel. This is not too difficult to do, just remove the heating control arm tabs then pry the panel loose at the edges using a flathead screwdriver - the panel is held in just by spring clips. If the clock connections seem secure, you might consider replacing the clock. Inexpensive replacement clocks are available on eBay or from salvage yards.

The clock resets itself to 12:00 when restarting the 2005 Buick Rendevous. Sometimes if you are really careful how you turn the ignition, the time will stay as set, buy not very often.

maybe you should check your battery condition. the voltage should be 12.3-12.8V. many times the voltage is not enough to cranck the engine and supply all the other devices. Try to turn on the radio and then crank the engine. if the radio stay on and the clock reset then the problem is inside the clocks mechanism. hope helped.

I need to change the bulb in the analog clock in my 1999 Lincoln Towncar. How do I go about getting to it without tearing apart the dashboard?

you need a special tool to get the radio out. It has pins that spread out spring clips so the radio can pull out.

please rate as solved if this helps.

Clock not available

I took the truck back for warranty work and this was the dealer's explanation: This is a known, but rare, glitch in the radio. It is not widespread enough for Dodge to issue a bulletin, but there is a write-up in the computer system that Dodge technicians access that covers this. The "repair" is to disconnect the battery for 5 minutes and/or remove the IOD (Ignition Off Draw fuse(s)). The radio then "resets" itself. If the problem persists, they have to replace a component of the radio system.

91 accord wagon-where can i find another ''hot'' unswitched wire

Trace the yellow wire back to the fuse box located at the side kick panel under the dashboard and place a new wire to replace the " short" wire. The clock wire may share the same wire for your radio. You can confirm this by looking at the label at the fuse box either located at the side kick panel as mentioned before or inside engine compartment, under the hood.

Replaced battery - need to reset clock / radio won't play

My manual said the same thing. Although I have never had the radio stop working on me even after I changed the battery. To set the clock you hold the mode button, like your changing the bass/ treble. Hold it down then it will show clock flashing. From there I cant remember i think i used the arrows by the number pad to change the time. Hope this works for you.
