Clock and temp display fault

[glynnbhg]

Hi

Been having issues with the clock and temp display since i bought the car (57 plate CC 1.6) it will randomly go blank with no power to the clock or so it seems, then power up sometimes while the car is being driven and sometimes while the car is dead, i know this as the clock will have some time displayed when i start the car and when the display goes off then comes back on the time is reset to 00:00. Bought a secondhand display and fitted this but despite early good signs the fault is still there, is there a plug somewhere that could have water ingress or a loose connection, been told there should be a permanently live feed somewhere to keep the time current ? also the temp display never worked and randomly this will now intermitantly show along with the time, the temp reading is accurate so i am ruling out the sensor being faulty on this hence why i am looking towards a common plug / connection somewhere, but where?!

Does anyone have any experience in this area and could give some guidance.

Thanks in advance.

Glynn.

Another Development! Got in the car yesterday and the radio was dead, after about 5 minutes it powered up and has been fine since, very random. Definitely makes me think there is a common issue, earth perhaps ? Does anyone have a layout of the earthing points for the cc ?
