Mine does that sometimes but I think it also does it when I downshift really hard. So that was my problem. You might want to try that. It's not that hard and doesn't take to much time. It's worth a try.

That happens to me, I'll set it to the correct time, and as soon as I turn off the car and restart it, it goes back to either 1:00 or whatever it feels like. Not sure what it is either.

defective clock
minor changes in amperage and resistance will affect your clock if it is aged. Mazda really screwed up with the clock and as it ages it becomes much too fragile. There is really no fix for it other than replacement. I tried opening mine and resoldering like I did to fix my airflow meter and CPU but the circuits are just too fragile. Good Luck!

I think you need to learn how to solder correctly.

try this- when you resolder the beast check the blue electrolitic cap on the back of the pc board. If memory serves me it is 47uf 25v. Replace this,making sure to properly align the neg terminal. Radio shack,$1.99. Worked on one of mine with similar problems.

Every single clock / idiot light problem (except fuel light once) was fixed buy COMPLETELY resoldering the whole light/clock cluster. I've done LOTS of them, they always work for me. Make sure you remeove ALL old solder (some people just retouch the joints, this only works temperarely because the factory solder is poor quality) use lots of flux and re-solder it, then finally giving a good cleaning with a flux solvent.

I Have this exact problem.....and it only started happening when I installed my new CD head unit....
I think I may have a wire or two that Need to be earthed or something...
Now my clock, interior light and factory alarm don't work...
does anyone have a wiring diagram (one that I can actually make sense of) available?
Cheers

Here I look and say hmmm this one has a lot of replies I probably don't even have to look at it...
Wrong
Has anyone checked to see if the dome light works???? Should be the fist thing you do!
the dome/room fuse is the same one that keeps the memory on the clock (and the radio, and the ECU, and the AT-EC and the theft unit).
Note the 7.5 amp fuse that runs the dome lights through the L/R wire and all the above and then some:

what could be the problem with the clock it only goes to 1:00 when you start the car and i changed the fuse for the lights and they work now. the only problem is the clock now so do any of you know what it might be

If it happens (as I suspect) when ever the key is turned off then the clock /idoit light assembly is not getting power and you have either a bad/blown/or removed fuse or there is a bad connection at the assembly (which could mean re-soldering or just un plugging and then replugging the assembly).
