brus brother Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Seems a common problem. Apparently the solder joint on a resistor fails. There is actually someone on the site who will fix it for free. Use the search function. His member ID is NorthWet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the search function. Hopefully, someone will remember the good samaritan's ID. from the classifieds, http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=26603 It says EA82 style clocks there, but I believe the basic problem is the same.

NorthWet Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 My ears are burning... The EA82 clocks use old-style resistors, which are easy to fix. From what I have heard, the newer clocks have the same type of problem, but they use Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) for their resistors, which are a little more tricky but still doable. I have NOT as yet looked at or worked on a New Gen clock, but am willing to do so. Same price (free) and same request (make donation to USMB) as stated in the sticky in the Marketplace. TTFN!

cookie Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 at the solder joint and I just soldered it again. North had done all the hard pioneering work so it was easy to spot. My Forester is a 99 by the way. That was several weeks ago and it is still working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the "North" refers to me, I didn't come up with the fix. I am just willing to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
