The other day, an acquaintance of mine told me that they had a rebuilt engine installed in their car recently and the clock was off, and it seemed like he needed a PHD to figure out how to set it. It sounds trivial to mention this problem, but in reality it happens all the time (no pun intended) to people who have engine work or any repair work performed that requires disconnecting the battery for more tha a few minutes.
In some cases it is not so funny. Meaning that due to the complexity of the electrical system, it may be necessary to take the car to the dealer to have it reset with the proper tool. Having said that, there is a simple way to prevent this issue from occuring should you have a rebuilt engine installed in your car, or some other type of major repair where the battery is disconnected for a long period of time.
The solution or prevention in actuality is to use a tiny power source that connects to the battery terminals that can supply just enough power to the clock to keep it on time. In my opinion it is a necessary courtesy to reset the clock or use an inexpensive tool to keep the clock ticking. The tool is a specially make power source that is easy to hook up and keeps anything that looses it’s settings from losing it’s settings.
It was a mandatory tool we used at my shop, infact we had several of them. They don’t cost much and they sure save a lot of time having to reprogram clocks and other various components from losing their memory. I was always of the mind that the car should leave the shop without any grease or fingerprints anywhere, in fact we often washed cars after the job was done. I can’t relay how happy my customers were to pick up a clean properly running car with the clock still on time.
The customer’s experience is what it is all about. If your customer leaves and had a good experience, you can bet they will tell the first person that asks them ‘how the car turned out’ or who should I take my car to for a rebuilt engine.
