My 2002 V70 T5's clock in the instrument cluster will advance continuously as if a ghost is trying to set it at high speed. This is happening most times after start. If I start the car and it works normally and I try to set the clock I am able to sometimes, but other times it starts to race again. Also, while the clock is racing I am unable to stop it with the setting ****. The trip odometer will not respond to me trying to reset or change from 1 to 2 while the clock is racing.

Any guesses?

Thanks in advance.

 

My clock in our 2003 xc70 has begun to do exactly the same thing as the previous poster. Did you find a solution?

 

My V70 has same problem 2 weeks ago. I don't know what is it. And the daily counter is reset sometimes. I think it's related with the clock problem
Any idea?

 

I eventually had to replace a flaky Driver Information Module or Instrument Cluster - it started with the clock then intermittent instruments etc - sounds like the 2002 and 2003 models were susceptible. Sounds like the circuit boards would have issues (heat, solder, etc). A company in Canada called Xemodex can send a refurbished guaranteed for life module for under $500. Definitely better than the dealer's $1,400. I've read where others had success reflowing solder on the circuit boards but that was beyond my comfort for such small chips.
