2000 Forester Clock Problem

Featured Replies

About a week or so ago I smelled something burning. I thought it was another car but it turned out to be my overhead clock. It started operating very strangely and now it does not work at all. :mad:

 

I've followed the threads here and there is a member who will repair these clocks at no charge. I've PM'd him and have not received an answer. :confused:

 

Does anyone know how to get in touch with him? Is there someone else out there that can repair these clocks? I'd be willing to pay a reasonable amount for repair and return shipping. :)

 

Dealer price for a new clock module is a whopping $53!! :slobber:

 

Thanks in advance for your help.:banana:

It's an easy fix, do you have a solder gun?

 

Took me about 30 seconds once it was out of the car.

 

It's just a simple "Spot Weld".

I think the resistor might have gone south. The one labeled 501. Does anyone have the value for this one ?

I fixed my 99 by simply resoldering the little part on the circuit board that came loose back to the spot where it obviously loosened from. It's very tiny <5mm longx2mm wide as I remember, and if it falls out while you are working on it, you will probably not find it.

 

 

This thread has the answer....:cool:
