      dam dash clock

      question

      after doing a few searches here i can see that im not the only one who has an issue with the dash clock

      everynow and then ...but not all the time... the clock in my 05 wave is 2-5 mins slow and it gets worse unless i correct it.

      it sucks as sometimes i think i have lots of time but then i realize im going to be late :P

      I have also noticed that very rarley it rests to 0100..

      any ideas ?

      How much did the dealer charge you guys to fix this ? and will simply changing the clock part fix it ?

      Yeah mine used to do that, I had it replaced under warranty. Since it's a known problem see if you can get it done for free

      Re: dam dash clock

      since we're talking about the dash clock, any ideas on how to change its color or the clock itself so it can match my new blue interior light color

      Re: dam dash clock

      I bought my 04 Aveo about 9 months ago and I'm also having problems with my clock. At first I didn't know what caused it. One night I went to the car wash to wash the car and when I left I noticed the clock was wrong, it reseted to 1pm. It didn't happen again for a few months, then pow! out of the bue it did it again. It seems to be intermitent. I was blaming my drl module because it was going but after unpluging it I noticed every now and then it still does it.

      It's not a big deal but a I wonder if the dealership would replace it? The car is not under warranty and I'm assuming they'll try to sell me a clock. I don't mind resetting it but its a pain in the butt when it happens.

      Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
