      Clock won't keep time

      Have a 2009 Aveo, clock will not keep time. I set it, shut the vehicle off then next time i use it the clock shows the wrong time. Any ideas?

      I also have a 2009. The clock is a piece of crap. (So are a few other things on this cheap car.)

      I bought the car new. The dealer replaced the clock when it went berserk, before the warranty ran out. Then I replaced it with an aftermarket, 12v backlit digital clock. That one lasted about two years and then it died. Then I bought two more clock modules on eBay that didn't work at all from the day I received them. I just now ordered another one. Cheap Asian trash electronics. Unfortunately there is no reliable digital clock replacement available at any price.

      Use your wristwatch. Or install a sundial on your dashboard.

      Same problem here, 2008. Question, is your air bag warning light on?

      Search the forum (top of page) for "Clock Repair" there are good detailed photos of where/what to solder. See: https://www.aveoforum.com/forum/f76/...o-clock-21350/

      Here's an update. Soon thereafter I bought the third generic clock module on eBay, and this one has been working since then. Here's a photo of it. These are easy to install, and you don't even need to disconnect the original crappy clock. The funny looking thing on top of it is a sunshade I made and attached to it so I can see the display in bright sun. The pigtail wire leading from it has a tiny switch attached to it that sets and programs the module that comes with the unit. It's 24H military time, but at least it's a clock that works.
