Common Issues Associated with Setting a Ford Fiesta’s Clock
Some Ford Fiesta owners have previously complained of issues affecting their vehicles’ clocks. They include the car constantly losing track of time and difficulty in setting the clock. Possible factors that may cause these and other similar issues include:
Low Battery
The entire radio system, including the clock, depends on the power from your car’s battery to function. The clock won’t be up to date if the battery is low.
Problem with GPS
Newer models depend on GPS to update the time (some do so automatically). If your vehicle has GPS issues, there is a chance it could affect the clock settings.
