Wieeerd Electrical Problem...
So I got into my Evo this morning after letting it sleep all day Sunday (rain)... and I noticed the closk was 5 minutes slower then my cell phone...? Oh well, no biggie... So I drove into work (about 20 miles) and when I got there I noticed that the trip was rest and only showed 11.4 miles, but I KNOW I didn't reset it AT ALL, let alone on the drive in 
I thought it was odd but didn't think toooo much of it...
Then when I go outside to leave work, the clock is now 1/2hour slow... again
I stopped by the dealer on the way home and scheduled an appointment for Thursday AM... I'm not overly concerned, but I am thankful for not installing the APEXi AutoTimer that I have in the glove box just yet... I'm certain they would have pointed the finger RIGHT AWAY, if I had.
Anywho, f anyone else has had this wierd issue let me know, otherwise I guess I'll update you guys Thursday night.

My trip reset itself after a tank fill up... I thought it was a "feature" at first(to help you tell gas mileage). It only affected one of the trips, I don't recall which one. It hasen't done it since. VERY wierd! I passed it off as a fluke but if it happened to you...

i have a '02 ls lancer and i have the same problem. (my problem originated when my dumb *** tried to install a new headunit.)
my clock doesn't work
overhead interior light doesn't work
power windows and locks don't work when the key is out (normally you can leave the doors closed and operate them for 30 seconds or so)
mileage resets Every time you restart the car
there's more though, but these are some things that i remember. basically nothing electrical works when my key is removed. i do like my "new feature" of being able to automatically reset my trip, lol. i'll get it fixed and let you guys know what the deal is. i called around and one guy said it could be a "power handler" or something to that effect. kinda hard to diagnose without having the car there though. it still runs, i'm gonna keep it till the new evo gets released. i think its time for an upgrade in my life. this AC leak is starting to **** me off anyway, and i hope they fix that problem.
