2009 Yaris has trouble starting, finally starts and clock is 10 minutes behind?

Good news it was a simple fix - positive battery terminal was loose!

I have had a lot of issues with this. My battery tie down has never held my battery in place very well and both + and - terminals have come loose several times. More often it is the + terminal. I normally know when it's getting loose because I'll be driving down the road and the lights on my cluster will start flickering.

Yeah that's exactly what happened when I tried to start it... it was like watching a computer fail to boot!? ha

Its started like a champ since then. I was sure it was the starter until I noticed the clock being 10 minutes behind!
