Thanks so much George. So my dad actually found a very corroded accessory relay in my fuse panel that’s inside my car and once we replaced that and reconnected my battery and started my car and then turned it off the radio and clock behaves properly. So I think we got it fixed. Thanks so much for the help though!

Good for you OP. Sounds like that relay may have been sticking. Wishing you good music and a fully charged battery.
