Car Forum / Lexus Cars / February 2006RX300 - Clock resets to 1:00am
The clock in my 2000 RX300 has started to reset itself to 1:00am. This usually happens after a clold night, or on really cold days when the car has been sitting for a couple of hours. Thinking it could be a dirty connection on the battery, I cleaned the posts and the connectors, but still the problem happens. The car cranks well, and the alternator is delivering full output. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks AZF > The clock in my 2000 RX300 has started to reset itself to 1:00am.

SignatureRay O (correct punctuation to reply) Thanks for the reply. I've replaced it just as a precaution, and it still happens. I don't know if there's an on-board battery for the display...if there is, I sure don't know where to find it. AZF >> The clock in my 2000 RX300 has started to reset itself to 1:00am.

There are 2 power sources for the clock. The display is switched with the ignition and accessories and the clock itself is always powered. SignatureRay O (correct punctuation to reply) My RX did the exact same thing with the clock resetting, a week or so before the battery failed. Seemed like the battery level was falling below a "threshold" overnight but still had enough power to start the car in the morning. New battery and all was well.

Thanks for the replies. I would guess I should replace the battery now before I really have a problem.

Many times when the clock does that, its a sign that the battery is on its last legs. Well, thank you everyone for your suggestions. I put a new battery in, and we'll see what happens. (It was the original battery -- I didn't know Panasonic made car batteries) Thanks again! azf >> The clock in my 2000 RX300 has started to reset itself to 1:00am.

If you got 5 years out of yours you are doing great! Well, I put a new battery in, and the problem disappeared. Thanks again!
