Default Clock off one hour

Curious where the clock gets its time from? My clock is all setup for auto.... Eastern, etc. It is off by 1 hr., like central time. I could override I guess and turn off the auto..., but any others have this same issue?

It gets it from GPS. It's either your time zone or DST setting. It should do DST automatically but there may be a way to turn that off.

I always have to change my clock manually even though it's set to update automatically for DST

I never had any luck with mine set on auto DST. Every time I used to hit the button for getting the time from GPS, it would go back an hour. Well, now that I live in AZ, I never have to worry about it, again! We don't change our clocks!

Mine has always worked as it should for 4 years until yesterday. I feel my battery is not the issue, AS/S still works as it should. Hopefully Ford simply has a gps issue and gets resolved soon.

Thanks, always love a dick comment in the morning

If anyone else runs into this and likes to keep their truck in as built or better condition, I simply turned off daylight savings time, power cycled truck, turned it back on, viola, works as it should.

Mine reverts to being off by an hour every couple of weeks. I've tried using auto/non auto, DST on and off, nothing fixes it. I assume it's some kind of bug that an update might fix.

I also have the VERY stupid issue where the truck just turns on the radio sometimes. This one drives me insane because it always, always happens when my boss is on the phone.
