This is my first post to the forum so it's an intro and a "Thank you". The clock on my '01 Forester died last fall, a major pain when getting to various ice rinks and gymnasiums all over NYS and Canada.
I finally decided to pull it out last weekend, but quickly found the screw up inside the sunglasses holder wasn't the way. I Googled and within a few listings came across this thread.
Within 5 minutes the clock was out and apart on my table (switches intact as cautioned), and in another 15 minutes I had located the suspect resistor, found one lead cracked, located my soldering iron and had it fixed and back in the car working again!!
Thank you very much to all those who posted in this thread with the information needed to get the clock working again. It's great having the clock back and it didn't cost a penny!!
Now on to 20mm sway bar.
