xantia time and date

Post by louis1 »

Hi hope someone can help, on my Xantia once left over night the time and date reset themselves. I dont think that it is the battery because it starts first time and the radio is not reset. Anyone got any ideas
Thank Louis

Had the same problem on an old Vauxhall Tigra of the wifes. Turned out to be the unit was not holding a small charge in this tiny wee lithium battery thing that was fitted in this type of thing years ago. Unable to get a new battery thing so ended up buying a new / unit off E-bay. On opening up the old part it was clear that you could have 'dry' solder joints but all the connectors were tiny. My banana fingers would never of been able to sort it out.
