    This has been a fun thread. I suspect that most of us, especially US folk that have a clock, we have the green digital display clock. My green digital clock resets the time very frequently. Sometimes the time displayed goes off entirely but then a while later will come back on usually with the wrong time. Have the rest of you have a similar problem? Is it my clock that has the intermittent short or open contact or is there more likely a gremlin in my dash wiring going to the clock?? Thanks in advance, and happy holidays everyone

    Sounds like prolly a sporadic open circuit cutting power to the clock, then when continuity is restored, the clock resets and starts over counting time from there. Could just be a dodgy terminal connector; try removing the clock to unplug and then reconnect it.
