Problems with my C3 electrical system.

My C3 has an ongoing electrical problem. Driving along and everything shuts down. Cools off and the clock runs backwards!!! Ugh!!! Has happened many times...

Seems your C3 came with the "time machine option". Flux capacitor needs replaced!

Shuts off, coasts to side of road and no power? Won't crank, no headlights, nothing? Or cranks and won't catch? Beginning a trouble tree here...

I would check the negative battery cable connection at battery and frame where it connects. Take right off frame and clean frame and eye and reinstall. Check positive battery cable at battery and at starter and ensure clean and tight. From there it goes to horn relay and coil. If above all good maybe the coil heats up and dies. Does it start after it coold down? Clock runs backwards? weird but it would have to be polarity reversal to clock to reverse motor.
