Weird; I think my stock radio had a set button for the clock, too. How do you set your presets?

(Tip; if you imagine buttons between your preset buttons, such as, press your finger between 1 & 2 so you press them both at the same time, you wind up with 3 extra presets! Don't know if that was a GM feature or a GM error, but hey, it works!)

Okay, if my information is correct here. Gently pull the "SCAN" button out and hold it to set the hours and repeat the same process with the "SEEK" button for the minutes. This is out of the 1985 GM service manual for the camaros and should be the same for your car. Let me know how it turns out.

By having either the owners manual or the service manual and researching them. :lala: Also previously owning a car with a radio like that didn't hurt either.

How do you set a 1995 dodge ram radio for the time?
