Clock stops

OK. Why would the clock stop when the lights are turned on? Found it out tonight and laughed out loud. What next?

Voltage drops to the clock. Check all the ground pods, and check to make sure your voltage from the alternator is about 14v when the engine is running. It possible the regulator is going bad.

If he can drive through time zones it could be right like 6 times a day...how often do you need to check the time anyway?
