1994 JGC Display Problem

The electronic display (the one that shows the time, service reminders, etc) resets every time I start the jeep. Once started, I'll set the time and date again and it will stay as long as the jeep is running, but once I shut it down and restart, the display will need reset again.

Checked, removed and cleaned battery cables and battery to insure a good connection. Any other ideas?

Thanks!

your battery is not holding a good enough charge this will also reset your fault codes in the computer. the computer clears all of this to save power when battery gets low,

try this: quote from someone on here

"Clean the battery and terminals, use a wire brush inside the terminals and on the battery posts. charge the battrey. check the volts once it is started, if the volts are between 13 and 15 vdc turn the car off the charging system is good. turn the lights on for 5 minutes with the engine off. test the battery volts with the lights off. if the volts have fallen below 11, replace the battery. also if the volts drop below 9 while starting... change the battery."

Thanks for steering me in the direction of the battery - I had it tested and it needed replaced. Put a new one in and it fixed the problem. Thank you!
