Problem with Clock/Thermometer

[Elder]

Yesterday the battery died on my 2003 Aerio. When I finally got the car started again everything was back to normal except the in-dash Clock/Thermometer.

It now reads -188 degrees and 18:88. I can't get it to change even when I press the minute/hour buttons to change the time.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I'm hoping its simple.

Thanks in advance!

You can try clipping out the middle part where your cd player is that will allow you to take the clock out. you can then take the power cable out see if that resets it. the problem i have with it is mine works kinda backwards, when my car lights are off the light is on, on the clock but when i turn my headlights on the light turns off

I had the same thing happen to mine.. left the lights on to long when i was helping a friend fix his car... I just ignored it.. and one day it started working..

EDIT: Wow i should have checked the date.
