Stupid Clock

So the digital clock only resets to 1:00. I cannot change the hour or minute. I cleaned the switches with contact cleaner, but no change. Yes, I could wait until 1:00 to reset it, but that's a PITA.
Is the clock just stupid?

no, its probably got bad contacts...replace it with a used one. thats the first ive ever heard of a 7's clock going bad with time change issues. usually the display will fade or have missing parts of the numbers.

Mine is 23 minutes slow. I can push the thingy in, and turn it either way, but nothing happens.

Being a 22 year old car, I don't wanna twist too hard and break something. The plastics are already crap.
