Dash clock losing time

[Tim]

Hey everyone!

I got my dash clock wired up and all was good for about a week, but now my dash clock is losing time.

It keeps time fine when I'm driving, but overnight the clock will lose about 30-45 minutes.

Any ideas what could cause this? I'm pretty sure the wiring is OK. Maybe dirty battery terminals?

i had the same problem, but now my clock doesnt work at all, it stays on 1:00 all the time. i never found a solution. did you buy it on ebay from yonsquire? he sells a lot of clocks for the festys and i got mine from him and i told him it was losing time and he refunded me

Turned out to a bad ground connection. Amazing what a headache one wire can cause...

[MTec007]

what did you ground it to and what was it grounded to? mine is grounded to the radio ground right now and loses time

I used the cigarette lighter ground.

When I wired it up, it looked like a solid connection, but the wire was actually loose and making poor contact.

Reattaching it solved the problem.

So much for my time vortex theory.
