Clock losing time - 2006 Mazda 3.
The clock in my 2006 Mazda 3 sport gt has lost time twice in 1 month. Once I set the right time it seems to work fine for a few weeks. Our 1993 Mazda MPV never lost time and we have it for 12 years now. Any ideas?
I haven't bothered to take it to the dealer as yet. I will wait till the 8,000kM service is due and will take it in then. Thanks. Marty |
Maybe you're driving so fast you're warping the space-time continuum.
How much time are you losing? My Pro loses about a minute every month or so. |
My Mazda is the same way. 06 3i I bought 2 months ago has lost time 3 times in 2 months, usually 30-45 at a time. I dont know what the deal is.

Sounds like possible a loose ground or power connection in the radio unit. basicly dissconects the power for 30-45 min and cust the time down. Do you also loose you preset radio stations?
|
I have lost 5 - 15 mins twice since I bought the car Oct 29/2005. Once I reset the time it works fine till it slows down again. I am not sure if the power to the clock cuts off - digital clocks would flash 12-12 or 0-0 once the power is restored, wouldn't it?
The radio presets work fine. Regards. Marty |
Doesn't sound like thats the prob. It was a long shot anyway. I haven't noticed my clock loosing time. Of course it is still on daylight savings time still haven't looked how to set the clock.
oh well good luck |
Is the clock built into the radio? Many quartz clocks have a trimmer, and can be adjusted for timekeeping.

check with the dealer, could be covered by warrenty.

Folks,
It has been almost 2 weeks since the last incident and the clock is keeping its time. Maybe it was just a temporary problem that is now gone, I hope. The clock is part of a message center that also displays outside temps and radio station #s. The dealer has never heard of this problem before. Thanks for all your inputs and suggestions. Seasons Greetings. Marty |
time loss
Marty, I just bought my M3 in November and I find that its losing time also from about 3-5 minutes. I've had to reset the clock twice. I'll ask my dealer what is wrong and report back.

I guess my time is up. Pardon the pun.
My clock, just yesturday, dropped about 5 min. and did it again this morning. I think we all need to make a call to the dealership. |
I have 1000 miles on my 3 and am having the same issues with the clock. In discussing it last night with a friend, the only other reasoning behind it besides being a defect is that maybe it has something to do with me using the INFO button a lot. I press on it pretty regurlarly to check the mileage, etc. Maybe that has something to do with it? Just a thought. This is the second time in a month that this has happened.

mine lost 15mins 1 time in the 3 weeks i've had the car. not sure what's going on. lots of people seem to have this problem.
|
Lets complane to the manufacturer. I haven't noticed that on mine but I'll check on it. I'll ask a friend of mine if he have noticed it on his. Will let you know
|
My '06 lost 30 min exactly this week. It has 1.4k miles on it since I bought it last month. I guess I'll ask the dealer, but the service dept didn't seem to impress me much that last time I talked to them.
