No problems with starting ever. However; it seems the clock is loosing time overnight or when the car has been sitting for sometime. It gets back by hours.

No other electrical device seems to loose juice. NO startup problems. The battery if 6 months old.

Is the knob pressed all the way in?

Yes. Kind of weird, sometimes it will not loose time, but then others will be off by hours. I will recheck the knob thingy.....

When it looses, it looses bit time - we aretalking off by hours after one night. It seems when the car is running it does never lose time.

The battery is 6 months or so old - the car cranks in half key. So I am not sure what is happening - anyways, it does not hurt driveability, so no real problem here.

Thanks
