Hi,
I would join to this discussion with the question: whether I have the same problem as you discuss in this thread?
I have a Forester of year ’98. I observed in the last few weeks, that my clock frequently goes away, but the clock shows the correct time, if it shows something at all.
At the beginning of the defect, the clock stayed blank, but it comes up some minutes later as I started the engine. At that time the weather was very cold, around -10 centigrade, so I don’t think on any over dissipation of the power resistor. Today is definitely warmer (around 10-20 centigrade) and the clock looks to work.
I guess a wrong contact, but I don’t know how to check the cables. How can I dismount the clock? Which cable should give the power to the display?
Could you give me some help?
Gabor
