so for awhile my clock in my 95 EJ2 or EG, keeps resetting itself everytime i have the car turned off and its been drivin me nuts cuz i cant figure it out, so can anyone tell me what it is and what i have to do or do i have to buy another one?

There are two power wires that go to the radio, one that is hot all the time
that keeps the clock running and one that is only hot when the ignition is
switched on. The always-hot wire is dead on yours.

The radio will work if just the switched wire is working, but the station
presets and the clock are dropped every time you turn off the car.
Probably a fuse. Check all the fuses, especially anything marked "radio
backup", which is usually in the underhood fuse box on older hondas".

Hope that helps out somewhat. Fuse maybe ?

i see, cuz ive been thinking maybe it was the fuses but idk where to start but thanks to ur answer i have an idea on how to go about this
thx

its nice because when you turn on your car, the clock starts, so its an easy Trip timer...
Do you have an aftermarket stereo? <--Might have blown a fuse installing it <3

Haha, never thought of it that way.

Check the 7.5A Back Up fuse under the hood. It's likely blown.

I have the same prob, I replace the clock but to no avail yo. Checked ALL my fuses just no but still nothing. What now? Look for a faulty wire?

Former User

Check the installed Back Up fuse with a test light. You should measure battery voltage to body ground on both top test tabs. If that's fine, check whether voltage reaches the clock on the wire from the Back Up fuse. If not, the wire is broken.

Battier is brand new, got it last week Sat when I bought her. I'll definentally look in to it in 5mins. Thanks bruh

Any word T? I just got my EG and Im having the same problem. My cluster light also turns on and off randomly. I've been told that it is because of the aftermarket radio, I haven't pulled it out yet, but Im almost positive it was a hack job.

Yeah I too got an aftermarket radio man and that mess don't work since I got it. As far as the problem goes, the only problem I came down to is the wire is potentially broken. Battery is new since I bought the car last week Sat, ALL the fuses works, and the only thing I could really come up with is what the guy said about the broken wire.

All I have to say is check your fuses and battery. If both works the prob would be the broken wire. Hope that works mane, I'm about to take pics of my whip right now btw

Bro, Im no mechanic, but this broken wire theory sounds kind of sketch, isn't it super rare that factory wires break? Try removing the stereo and see if your clock still resets, when I get back home tonight, that is what I'll be doing. Do you cluster lights flicker?

T-MORE

Nope but when Ron said broken wire he probably ment the signal is lost. I'm no electronic expert but it sounds legit :/ hope I don't sound like a fool lol

I beieve ron brought up the broken wire just because the problem your having with the clock is that its losing power from the wht/blu wire that is constant source voltage

it doesnt have to be a broken wire, but the reason your clock keeps resetting is because voltage isnt at the wht/blu wire

T-MORE

Thanks bruh that sums it. What's your take on fixing it? Replace the wire?

Linked

you have to check for voltage at the no.32 fuse under the hood (7.5 amps)

if that use is blown use a test light or multimeter and check for voltage at the 2 open ends of the fuse. if voltage is at one end but not the other, your fuse is blown and needs to be replaced

if voltage is found at both ends of the fuse then your fuse is fine but voltage still doesnt go to the clock

the only thing between that no.32 fuse and the clock is the wht/blu wire, so that must be where voltage stops, meaning your wire is broke

if thats the case, you can run your own wire, but yeah its pretty hard to do the right way


the no.32 fuse is the "Back Up" fuse.

Former User

It's actually called the Back Up fuse.

Linked

thanks and sorry bout that, fixed.

Former User

No problem. At least that's what it's called on the hood fuse box lid.

Awesome you guys are the ****. As far as my status goes here it is.

All my fuses are good even changed a couple with new ones. Battery is good it's new though I shouldnt rely on a new battery but I am. Next thing I gotta do next is run the White/Blue wire... And again I'm no electronic expert so I'll have to either learn or call a buddy to do it for me

Again man, thanks for you guys inputs. Bump*

T-MORE

Fixed the prop by redoing the whole harnest and remember the consent white/blue wire? That was also a problem. That said I have a new radio that Best Buy installed for $85 (because they had to redo the harnest which also fixed the white/blue wire) and a buddy and I installed the two rear speakers.

That said I spend a totall of 160bucks for everything. Was it worth it for just a simple problem of a clock not working? Well I got both a radio and rear speakers upgrade and fixed my clock in the process so... Kill two birds with one stone. Yes it was worth it. Well hope my take on it help you guys. Till then JDM FO life!

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I have this same problem, and now that I think of it im sure it is my wiring, because I couldnt get it to work, or at least turn on my aftermarket radio with the ignition so I ran a wire over to the fuse box, Do you know what color the 2 power wires are you are talking about, so I can go back and do it right?
