Default Clock resets to zero, iffy start

I just had the power steering fluid resrvoir replaced on my 2005 Silverado and now every time I start it up, the clock resets to zero, and it almost didn't start a few times. Kind of a clicking sound, but not really like a dead battery. Wonder if they disconnected the battery in recent work done and could be loose??? Also read it could be a fuse, or a bad ground? Thanks!

It sounds like it may be related to the battery. I recommend having them look at it again, if it worked before, it may be related to the repair work performed.

Please keep us posted.

Sounds like a loose battery end had the same issues in a grand Cherokee, I replaced the ends and it solved the issues but like Louis said they should fix it if the had to take it apart the do it
