The reasons for the flashing time display on the Peugeot 307 are: 1. The car battery is dead; 2. Poor contact in the wiring harness. Taking the 2013 Peugeot 307 manual comfort version as an example, it is a 5-door, 5-seat compact car under Dongfeng Peugeot, with a length, width, and height of 4212mm, 1762mm, and 1531mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2608mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The 2013 Peugeot 307 manual comfort version is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 117 and a maximum power of 86 kilowatts.
I used to drive a Peugeot 307, and the clock flashing issue was quite common. I think it's mainly caused by insufficient battery power. If the battery voltage is low before starting the vehicle, the clock settings are prone to be lost, and it will flash as a reminder upon startup. Another possibility is a blown fuse. Check the F10 fuse in the fuse box under the dashboard to see if it's intact. If it's blown, just replace it. Loose wiring connections are also common, especially in older cars. The wiring harness connectors in the engine bay might not be plugged in tightly, and a gentle tightening can solve the problem. I've encountered this issue myself—just spending a few minutes checking the fuse and battery fixed it, saving a trip to the repair shop. If left unattended for a long time, it might affect other electronic devices, like the audio system getting locked, so it's best to check it out as soon as you see the flashing.
