Hi People, On the week end I tired to repair my clock followed your information. As I removed the clock I have not seen any defected resistor. And as my clock sometimes looks to work I’m suspecting a wrong contact in the wiring of the car. So I measured the plug of the clock: On the plug I found the signal names: ACC, LIG, GND, BAT The signals relative to GND was followed: BAT: +12V (Battery, independently from ignition) ACC: 0 or 12V depending on the ignition LIG: seems not to be connected. Can anybody tell me if it’s correct?:-\ Or should I have a signal on the LIG connection. If I should, could you tell me what? Thanks Gabor

Many thanks for the advices guys. I’ll check the clock as I have some free time. The issue is lost its priority, because the clock is working nice since 3 days. But after eastern I’ll check the clock surely, because of I’m a curious man. ;o) Gabor

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
