Just your clock, or are radio presets getting reset too? Sounds like its loosing power entirely between starts. Maybe an alternator issue?

Check to see if the yellow wire that runs to the radio is getting power with the key, do the same with the red wire.

I'll set it, both the analog and the digital, and get in the car and it will read a random time. My radio is just fried [i think] because it would tune with the regular tune ****, but when i used the preset buttons, it wont use the tune ****, so now its stuck on static. Anywho, I'll try what u guys said and see if it works

this happened to me before, it resets the clock and the presets, your battery is going on you. recharge it w/ the alternator for a bit. or it might be the alternator itself.

well, i dont mean to be rude, but i drive it all the time, and since the alternator sends extra power to the battery, and this is happening after i shut the car off, i really dont see how it could be battery/alternator, especially since i had it checked and the mechanic said the alternator was fine. im thinking its the wiring of the clocks. but thanks for the idea, slash

sounds like the constant 12V isnt getting power, Id check to see if your constant 12V for the radio is getting power or not, if its resetting everytime you start the car it sounds like you have the constant 12V and ignition 12V tied into the same wire from the radio.

I Based my answer on your question "Does anyone have a problem with the clocks?"and the information that was given, when you have a problem it's a good thing to state everything "Daily driver/Checked by mechanic and ruled out alternator" ect, it rules out more possibilities and gets you closer to the true answer. -
