I'm just passing through...my '99 sonoma would drain battery after 2-3 days. Clock did not stay on but alternator had a short inside that sucked up the juice. Does your alt light come on when running? Just a suggestion, check alternator. G/L
Easyer to just disconnect battery for the time the car is sitting up.
Your battery, it happen to me, my clock would reset but the station presets stayed the same. It's a battery issue, make sure it's ok and that it's connected correct.
disconect the battery and wait nearby until the actual time is the same as what the van clock is. be advised, this will be a life altering experiance.

The clock in a 2003 Subaru Outback remains on after the key is removed due to a design feature that allows certain electronic components to draw power from the battery even when the ignition is off. This ensures that the clock retains the correct time and does not reset when the vehicle is not in use. If the clock stays on for an unusually long time or drains the battery, it may indicate a malfunction in the electrical system that should be checked by a professional.
A clock should not draw enough current to affect a vehicle battery. You probably have problems elsewhere. i have a 2001 ranger, and mine did the same thing. i even bought a new battery, but the problem was, the eject button on the CD player was stuck in. as soon as I got it pried back out , problem solved. hope this helps.
A battery clock uses a battery to provide power to a small electric motor. The motor turns gears that move the clock hands, indicating the time on the clock face. The battery provides a steady source of power, allowing the clock to run continuously without needing to be wound up.

The clock in a 1999 Chevy Cavalier may stay illuminated due to a faulty ignition switch or a malfunctioning body control module (BCM). A stuck relay or a short circuit in the wiring can also cause the clock to remain on. Additionally, if the vehicle's battery has been replaced or disconnected, it may lead to the clock not resetting properly. Checking these components can help diagnose the issue.
