So for some reason, I cant get my interior clock to keep its time? Everytime the engine is turned off and on, it goes back to 1:00... Does anyone have any suggestions as to why it keeps doing that?

Is it just the clock or does your radio do the same thing?
Dummy check would be your back-up fuse. If not, and I had to render an educated guess, I'd say the clock's PCB is getting power but isn't being backed up by the battery. Pull it out and check the wiring, or just get another one from a junkyard and see if it does the same thing. You probably have a broken wire or a pin out of place, or more than likely it's just a bad PCB in the clock

Well I currently have no stereo... So just the clock, so you're saying check all! G fuses, back up fuses and wiring?

No stereo? Yeah, i'd start with the back-up fuse, then check your under-dash fuses.

Probably a dumb question, but where would I find the back-up fuse?

I personally prefer the clock delete. My radio has a clock as does my iPod and phone. I don't need another time device too, and it looks cleaner without it (IMO).
Do u really need it anyway?

I dont have a stereo in at the moment... And looking at your phone whilst driving is naughty... So the in car clock is my only option for now
