OEM Head clock

Postby exaltd » Wed Feb 10, 2010 10:44 pm

Hi guys,

Just wondering, is it normal for the clock on the OEM head to take some time to show up after starting up the car?

I've noticed lately that my clock is having some delay time before starting up, when I start my engine.... about 2 seconds or so. It occasionally will come up faster (instantaneous like before this problem started to show up).

ANyone else have this problem? Or is it just natural? Could it be the engine diverting electricity to other parts before the radio and clock?

Any help is good :) Thanks again!

Yeah I've noticed that a couple of times. Didn't think much of it. Would say it's normal.

In my Civic when it took a while to come up it was a good indicator my battery was about to go flat if I didn't let it charge a bit.

mine had that problem, than when the freezing temps hitted, the display was showing some gibberish language ,2 days later the whole display would quit.

did it to me twice, third time mitsubishi ordered a base model radio which quitted working alltogheter last week. They were kind enough to replace it under warranty with a slighly used (it came from the dealership rally prepped evoX) navigation unit .

so check your radio/display for failure if you have freezing temperatures (from zero to -10 celcius let say) where you live.
