Default Rip Van Winkle Syndrome? or too many Twilight Zone reruns?
Maybe battery was disconnected momentarily, but if you didn't do it, or car wasn't someplace for service that's weird!

Default I had the same problem actually!
This was about a month ago.
The clock was set to July 8th, 1998 one morning when I got in.

Which brings me to another point - GEEZ that little **** is hard to reach and operate to set the clock!!!!! ARG

Default i had the same thing happen once
i told my dealer and they replaced the instrument cluster. i guess my dealer has seen enough of this kind of problem to sense where things are headed. anyway, no electrical problems since.

Ahhh... That's much better... Did it happen only once, or was it a continuous problem?
