    As part of the restoration of my my new 2008, I had to replace the MFD because my original had a burnt screen.
    So I received my new one and I noticed recently that at random times on start up the clock loses time. Meaning, after I start it up I notice the clock has lost and hour, sometimes two. Well today, aside from losing a chunk of time, 4 hours and minutes, my screen that shows the tank avg mpgs and mileage also reset to 0.
    When you combine that with my fuel gauge not working, this is becoming a real hoot to drive.
    Thankfully I use fuelio and can "guess" how many miles I can go between fill ups.

    Has this ever happened to anyone else? In the meantime I'm going to start taking my old screen apart to see if I can switch screens. Any help is appreciated.
