I'm new, just bought a 98 Forester.
Well, I researched the threads, found this one, tried to re-solder the 500 resistor, and apparently I cannot solder at all, I couldn't get the solder to hold to the black part at all. One side has a heavy gloop of solder that connects the black square to the green part, the other part that is hard to get to as it's under the clock display and has some solder on the black resistor, but it is not connecting to the green part so I'm sure the connection is not being made in order for it to work correctly.
Whoever posted on here that they rebuild Subaru clocks, I'll send it to you. If you can fix it, send it back, I'll cover the postage. If you can't, would you have a repaired clock that fits the 98 Forester I could buy cheap? I only need the black box back, the front and bezel I have, unless you sell it all together.
Please let me know, thanks
