2007 Aveo 5 Drs - clock problems

[gonedt]

The clock light disappears and time reverts to 1:00 when any of the doors are opened. This is happening more frequently....Any solutions suggested? Can it be a relay/or fuse?

Mine is 2004 5doors and when I turn up the fog light, clock disappears too.
While running on the way, clock reverts to 1:00 but somethime it re-disappears..
But the doors dont affect to my clock
and I dont know the solution :s
I have another clock in my radio but still annoying

If I find a solution to my problem I will be in touch with you. I just picked the car with only 115,000km...one owner. Excellent shape. Will see my mechanic on Tuesday.

Hi dthev,

You need to replace the clock module. Since yours is a 2007, your warranty should cover it. I pulled Chewy's history from the dealer and found that it had been replaced twice, once under warranty and once by the ower. (That was the only problem, that I found on the history. They had milked the warranty for all it was worth.) Chewy's died again about a month ago, and when I replaced it, I took it apart and found it had an internal dead short. They all eventually die, they're all the same and yet a little different. Mine shorted out with the DRL module. That's ok, for me running lights are pointless. If I'm driving at night, it's dark enough to turn the lights on. lol

Mine would randomly reset to 1:00 and then randomly go off and on at RANDOM times, which made my mild OCD absolutely NUTS!

The Clock Module failing is a global problem with the Aveo's, the constant hot-cold-hot-cold of the dash in the sun slowly fries them. This is why I now use a sun shade, even with tinted windows it still makes a difference. It takes even less time for my A/C to cool it down, and I know I'm preserving my dash and the Clock.

Best of luck,
-Andrew

I noticed that my LED dome light would dim as well as the clock module resetting, so I put back in the regular dome lights. I noticed this shortly after disabling my DRLs

Do you have a part number for the clock module. A mechanic mentioned I would have to change the clock which includes a module on the inside. Is this the solution? The car has been on the road since Sept 2007 thus 6 years ago...he mentioned I did not have any warranty on this. He said the clock would cost $100.00 or more. Would appreciate your comments.

Got the car undercoating done 3 wks ago and the clock works just fine....no more going to 1:00 when the doors are opened....maybe the special lubricant has sealed the possible short??? Just thought I would let you know.
