Very strange one...
The LED clock can be set just fine but turn the engin/ignition off and 5 secs later on again and the time has reset to 1992 and 0

- ie default zero position.

If the sidelights are left on however (when ignition is turned off) the clock stays lit and keeps the time but again, if the sidelights are turned off, the clock loses itself again.

Sound like the "keep live" feed to the clock has disappeared?

Any ideas?

Thanks all.

Check the multiplug is plugged in correctly.

You changed the head unit on it?

ive changed my head unit and it seems fine, its just when i have the stero on, the date dissapers but when i turn the stero off the date re-appers lol doesnt bother me tbh but its unusal for the clock to be doing that
