Analog clock

So for the past week or so the analog clock on my coupe is speeding up. For example I will set the time at 8 pm when I get in the car the next morning instead of it saying 7 am it shows 730 or 740. I noticed that for every 8 hours passed the clock spins 8 hours 15 minutes. Has anyone else had this issue? Where can I get a replacement clock? Thanks for any input in advanced.

It's trying to keep you on time.. lol. I've never heard of that. I wouldn't say it's fuse related since it still works..but take a look at it anyway. I believe it's a white fuse in the box.

Thanks for the input. Ill check the fuse but if the fuse went wouldn't the clock stop completely? Yea it is something very odd. Frustrating last week I didn't use the car for 4 days when I got In the car time was off by over 4 hours.

Are you sure the other clocks you're using aren't going slow? :P

My guess it's not true analog anymore, but electric to look analog .... not that it helps the situation.

There's no way it could be analog, the two buttons that control the hand movement should be a dead give-away. My guess is that the internal gearing - most likely plastic - is wearing away and the clock would need to be replaced.
