Right, I took out the mfd, and when I tried to unplug it, the plug AND the connecter fell out of the MFD IN my hand :lol: So I plugged it back in (I dont have any soldering gear) and then just before screwing it back in, I turned on the interior light and the clock didnt light up, so I lifted the mfd out of its hole, and as I did - it lit up! So Ive found an angle for the wire where the clock illuminates - must be well fucked in there somewhere. | |

yeah the plugs on the back of MFD's are notoriously bad. it could be the actual soldering of the plug recepticle to the board thats the prob speical as i assume you will have messed with it if not disconnected to change the bulbs. i had to resolder the one on my old corsa and that had exactly the same simptoms. I'd check it out if i were you | |

I changed the head unit the day I got the car, and Im pretty sure the clocks worked since then. Your probably right about the plug, It was a rushed bodge job anyway, Ill have to take that cnut back out again and check it. Cheers | |

sounds like its powering off the ignition and losing power each time key is removed? | |

Check that the multi plug at the back of the mfd is pushed in all the way | |

Hey, the time and date on my MFD keeps resetting back to 00:00 and the date to 1992. Like today I drove to college and it was at the right time, at dinner time it had reset again whilst the car was switched off. |
