My clock seems to come on and off when it wants to. I remember seeing a post about how you could fix it. Could anyone give me some info, or for those of you that can search fix me up with a link to the old thread?

My clock does the same thing, but I just give up and consider it quirky.

Max240

mine has been off for as long as i can remember. then all of a sudden it decided to come on out of nowhere a few weeks ago. it was really nice and bright too. then the next time i started my car, it was off again. i am used to it now.

If you guys don't know how to solder, then I'll be glad to do it for a small fee.

The easiest fix is to apply electrician tape over the face of the clock. Problem solved!

I can't use mechanic's tape?

Same here. Sometimes it'll be ok, then I turn on my headlights and the clock goes blank. Later turn my headlights off and the clock comes back on.

right now, i actually have a hole in my dash where it used to be. i took it all apart, left it on the table in my garage, and my stepdad moved it and lost most half off the thing. ill just go salvage one.

I fix mine with the "thonk" method....every time it acts up, I "thonk" it with my finger. Problem solved....

That's a great info!
I have a 4th gen Max I think it should work on mine... or will it not ?

Harrymay, come to the Houston meet on Sunday (Van's Skate Park, I-10 and Silber, Sunday 2pm..) and I've got a spare I'll give you for $20.

Maximka, it will probably work on yours too, but not positive. I tried to fix one on a Z32 a while back but couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.

Welcome to a well known issue with the 3rd gen, my 89 still does this, I dont worry about since the radio now has a clock in it.

Yes, of course. But it's nowhere near as elegant as Electricians tape.

haha, can I use this method for my CHECK ENGINE light too?
