Dashboard random reset?

[chezwez123]

Hi guys, today when i was driving to and from work, all the cars electrics shut off for a split second and rebooted, as if i had turned the ignition off and on really quickly, this reset the clock and everything but the car kept running so it's obviously electrical... its never happened before but today was heavy snow/ice so the wettest the car has been really since I recently installed a subwoofer/amp, and I am wondering if its related?
Any solutions/Ideas appreciated.

Thanks.

Had you just set off and the car was still cold , been left standing for a while ? It's usually your battery is on it's way out if it is . Mine does it but only in winter on a really cold day if i haven't driven it for a few hours . If i leave it to warm up for a few mins it doesn't . My batterys 6 years old now so on it's last legs i guess , i think Renault batteries only have something like a 2 year warranty .

Yeah well in the morning it happened after about 5-10 mins of driving, then it sat at work for about 7 or 8 hours getting snowed on and did it on the way home a few times... Could it be that the power cable for the sub is getting wet somewhere and that is shorting it? It didn't happen today at all but it wasn't raining so ..

Mine did this yesterday...so bought new battery. So today £50 lighter all was fine this morning. Went to work without issue. After work, drove to gym, then drove home....same thing. Wtf is happening? Alternator not charging battery?

Pushing a clio is harder than it looks, had to push mine into a petrol station when the fuel pump stopped lol.

Could be the alternator then? or something making the battery run flat?
