Radio Clock wont keep Time

I have a 2000 FRC and the radio wont keep time. Everything else on it works great. Is this a common problem, or am I just lucky? Any tips to fix, or is it the radio that needs repaired or replaced?

Thanks guys for the help.

What exactly does that mean...."won't keep time"? Does that mean it's always slow ? fast? or resets to 12:00?

Your car battery is most likely getting weak.

Sounds like something in the clock circuit has pucked... I'd look for another radio... Time to contact DoubleD.com and update your panel.. There are a bunch nice radios available.

Easiest fix (if it's not your battery, and the radio is bad) is to buy a used one on that auction site. I sold my 03 Bose for $9.69 plus shipping--make sure to get the TheftLoc code from the seller
