Default Losing power somewhere. 2005 Tahoe

Noticed clock was reset, and thought kids had played with it. Then a few days later, she didn’t start. I popped the hood and wiggled the battery connections (which look fine) and then she started right up. I think that was a coincidence. That was 2 weeks ago. Since then, no starting problems, but clock keeps resetting back to 12 intermittently. No other symptoms. Battery life should be good. Could it be alternator or something else?

Since you said you could wiggle the battery connections, I would suggest tightening those first. Check the other end on the ground connection also to see if it is tight.

Thank you. But I checked, they are good. It was just a coincidence.
