Issue with Clock and Radio

[tracytraytray]

Hi everyone, thanks for reading. I am having an issue where occasionally my clock doesn’t turn on when I turn the car on, or the time sets to 1:00 randomly. The radio sometimes doesn’t turn on. Once, the A/C didn’t turn on. It’s random; sometimes it’s the radio that doesn’t come on, sometimes it’s fine, sometimes it’s the clock resetting, etc. Any ideas what’s wrong? We cleaned the ignition and it helped a lot, but the issue came back.

Have you replaced the battery?

These may be separate issues in the wiring harness. I just got a 2011 Aveo and the clock is often off. Banging on it helps. Removed it and it's definitely an issue at the connector. I have not fixed it yet. It's not very important yet but may try squeezing the female pins first for a tighter fit..

Wiring harness. My car, every time I start it the time is 1:00 and it counts.. its like a drive timer with one extra hour Everything else works fine on my car but I did burn out the wiper motor, so probably you did something in the wiring harness like I did.

I can live with 1:00 every day.. can you hah!

You can run a separate wire to the radio and whatnot from the battery.
