odometer, clock don't go off

[dh_berman]

I recently purchased a 2004 Boxster S. My odometer and clock stay on all the time. I'm trying to figure out if this is normal. I read some other threads indicating they go off after 5 minutes or so but that is not the case with mine.

Any thoughts on whether this is normal and if not, where the problem might be?

Thanks for the help.
