Oh Ya!

Battery cables. There are two versions, one that has the secondary cables molded into the main battery terminals and another that has them bolted on to the main battery terminals. Remove both cables and clean up any crud on the battery posts and the main battery terminals. If you have the "bolt on" secondary terminals pull those off and clean those connections as well.

If that doesn't fix the problem check, remove, and clean the big battery terminal on the starter - Do that one last since it is a real bearcat to get to.

Even if the starter terminal was bad it shouldn't reset the clock.

Good luck, let us know how it comes out.
