Clock resets itself

Everytime i turn my car off the clock resets itself back to 1:00. Anybody ever run into this problem before?

yeah... the continuous power wire to the clock is loose. take the clock out and test all the wires against a ground. one of them should have 12V+ when the car is shut off. two of them should have 12V+ when the car is turned on.

worse case scenario, just splice off the 12v+ constant running to the deck.

The fuse was blown but as soon as i put a new one in it blew again. So i used butt connectors on all the connections of my stereo, because before it was just electrical tape. And now its fine. Must of been a short happening from one of the exposed wires of my deck. Anywho thanks all.
