Why does the time on the Peugeot 307 keep flashing?
2 Answers
The reason why the time on the Peugeot 307 keeps flashing is: the car battery is dead or there is poor contact in the wiring harness. The Peugeot 307 is a compact 5-door, 5-seat hatchback with body dimensions of: length 4212 mm, width 1762 mm, height 1531 mm, a wheelbase of 2608 mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The Peugeot 307 is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 86 kW and a maximum torque of 150 Nm. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, uses MacPherson independent suspension at the front, and a deformable crossbeam type with a stabilizer bar at the rear.
Noticing the dashboard clock flashing while driving is quite common, especially in Peugeot 307 models – I've heard about similar issues frequently. It's most likely caused by insufficient battery power, as the clock requires stable voltage supply. If the battery is aging or undercharged, the clock resets and flashes after vehicle restart. Another possibility is a blown fuse – there's a small fuse in the driver-side fuse box that controls dashboard power supply, and if it's burnt out, this symptom occurs. It could also be that the system needs resetting after power interruption, just like when the time wasn't set after a battery replacement last time. I suggest first trying to manually reset the time following the instruction manual. If it keeps flashing, check battery health and replace it if voltage is low. Though a minor issue, don't ignore it to prevent affecting other electronic functions. If unresolved, visit a repair shop for professional circuit diagnostics – avoid DIY attempts to prevent complications. Regular battery maintenance can prevent such minor glitches.
