The clock wont stay on the time that has been set.Each time I turn the car off, it defaults back to 1200 hours.Sometime it appears that the light on the clock if flickering but the clock works fine when the car is in motion? In the past if the car is idling in neutral and I open the door, the clock defaults back to the above setting?
