Clock Problems - 2001 Forrester

[macirish1945]

Last week or so, clock is going off and on. Now off for the last two days.

Had electric wiring problems five months ago (power windows/sunroof were
affected) but dealer fixed problem. Any ideas or help about clock would
be helpful. Fuses are all OK!

Thanks!

Hi there,
I've got a 99 Forrester with about 160K miles and my wife has a 98 with
about 50K miles. About six months ago my clock went through the same
problem...my wife's about a month ago. Took them both apart and both
looked like they had the same problem with a part (looked like a
capacitor) blown out.

I found a place online and replaced both clocks. Don't recall the price
but you can reach them at 1-866-528-5282.

try seatrching for this at www.usmb.net . Its a well known problem and I
THINK there is even a site with pics on how to re-solder the cold solder
joint/whatever.

If that doesn't help, or if you're not handy with a soldering iron, try
ebay. I got one for about $45, a few months ago.
