Fixing Time And Date On Ford Fiesta Zetec Climate 1.4 2008 5 Door

[djkriss]

Hi i am a new member today so ,not sure if I'm in the right area to ask a question

I have just bought the above ford ,really pleased with it but i can't seem to get the date /clock time to stay on dashboard.

I set it correctly, and while driving says on, but as soon as i turn off engine to go into shops when i come back it its blank then when i turn on the ignition again it displays time and date around the manufacture date ? It always goes back to the same date and time . 8/11/2007 6am

The cd/radio all ok and show up correctly .Also the trip milage meter also goes back to zero each time

I have been trying for days ,can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

The handbook makes it seem so simple , done in seconds

Sounds like a connection behind the dash is not staying live when you switch off so it's resetting.

Hi thanks for that, there is a button on dashboard called reset ? if i press it it won't reset everything will it lol

or is a garage job where they have to remove dashboard

No chris you will have to take the dash out that reset is for milage

Sounds like battery trouble to me.

I'd get that checked first before pulling anything apart
