Clock Inaccurate

[TWRam]

The clock always shows time being 1 hour ahead of actual. I can set it manually and it will stay for a short time, but it will revert to one hour ahead in short order. If I select "Sync with GPS" it instantly goes 1 hour ahead. At times my compass direction display shows blank. Another anomaly is that when I have my Iphone plugged in to the truck and I am using navigation on my phone, the navigation on my phone shows me as being somewhere 500+ miles away. Unplug my phone from the truck, and it goes back to normal. I believe my GPS has issues. Anyone have a fix for this?

TW,

I am having similar issues. Yesterday my clock set itself to 2 hours early! There is some GPS issue. Please post if you find a fix for this.

Some have said disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery for 30 minutes then reconnecting may reset the GPS and clock. I haven't tried that yet.

Did you ever find a fix for this? Mine is doing the same thing. Clock an hour ahead (compass acquiring signal or 180 degrees off).

After the time change, my clock was 2 hours off. I set it manually and, for some reason, has been fine since. I'm skeptical that it fixed itself.

I finally disconnected the negative terminal on my battery for about 30 minutes. Reconnected and the clock and compass are both working as they should.

I disconnected the battery and everything seems to be resolved!

I tried that previously. No dice for me. Went right back to the wrong time once it got a GPS fix.

I’ve got the same issue with my gps and clock on ‘19 1500 Laramie w/ 10k miles. It was fine up until this morning. I don’t know what happened. The gps has done this before but never clock.
