Lately it has been acting up. Some times after I get of work I notice that my clock resets it self and my headunit setup keeps change to default. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I'm kinda stumped... could it be a bad alternater? battery?

Yes.

 

Could be a bad battery...
Also, the clock and the radio share the same fuse in the fusebox, (I think it's the one under the hood, but I'm not 100% sure) It could be the power wire from that fuse or the fuse itself is bad. I had a fuse get corroded and do something similar a while back.
:edit: The fuse is in the underhood fusebox. It's the 7.5 amp fuse in the top passenger side corner labeled "Backup".

 

thanks i would check the fuse out

 

As Altima mentioned, the backup fuse is probably out

 

You're welcome, good luck. Let us know if that gets it

 

I had a member have the same problem as yours. Make sure the dash is properly bolted into the car if it has been removed. Also make sure that no grounds inside of the car has been removed or are loose. Even if the fuse is good. It will throw out the same problems that you are having right now. Do you have a digital volt meter?

Is the car hard to start sometimes? Like in the morning? Does it ever have lights on the cluster and when you try to start it. It goes completly dead? Also when did this start happening ?

wow that is exactly what is happening. Sometimes in the morning when i start the car it feels like battery is draining the car. The guages and radio would flash. This started like a few months ago but I got my alternater check and it was fine so I left it alone. Now just a week ago my radio and my clock keep restarting it self after like every 2 -3 days. After thinking about it a few day ago when I went to open my door my radio was flashing without the key in the ignition. When I put the key in the ignition it stopped. Then when I looked at the clock it was reset. So what do you think this could be?

I still need my alarm installed by you. I'll let you know when it is a good time.

 

lol, good call sti-eater
