Hey folks when i forst bought the car it was sitting for a few weeks as i hadn't passed my test. when i switched ignition on the clock would always restart. i put this down to the battery being flat after a few good drives the clock worked fine.
but just the other day the clock wouldn't come on untill i switched the interior/exterior lights on, even then the clock resets.
any suggestions folks? mayby a fuse gone or something?
 thanks

Ah, sorry I only scan read it. So the clock zero's when you turn the lights on? Sounds like it is somehow wired up on a switched live rather than a permanent one so it doesn't have a 'memory'.

yeah but as i say before it was working fine ie the clock remebered the time every time i switched it on. in past few days its just stopped working. even when i press the buttons to change time it doesn't do nowt. and i still have the radio station presets o loaded so i'm presuming the battery is ok. tried the brightness thingy but still no joy. its up as bright as will go.

I would assume the clock part of the MFD is faulty in that case?

Just out of curiosity would it be anything to do with the battery, it looks dated like. so if i were to invest in a new one could this mayby solve the problem?
