Who's dash digital clock still works?
 
My dash digital clock has a mind of it's own! Sometimes it works just fine, & sometimes it gets very dim, it does not loose time, however it does drive me crazy at times!!!:spit: :spit: :surprised

I used the clock out of my old cts-v,it's a direct swap,just plug-n-play..

My clock works well - btw - it gets dim when you turn your park lights on....

There is a fix if you can read the stickies. On my 92 (sold) I fixed it. On my 93 it still works perfectly. Dimming when you turn lights on is normal.

My clock on my 94 GXE still works just fine.

Mine works but sort of fizzles out sometimes, still viewable but messed up looking. It usually comes back if you give it a good smack though.

+1!!!!
Whoever said hitting stuff doesn't fix it!

Unfortuneatly mine has gone past the point of no return :( Hitting it use to work though!

When I bought my 92'SE, it was pretty much done for.. So I swapped out the one from my 93'GXE which was still working just great. Now it needs a flick or two on the upper left corner where it fades a bit ;)

Amen!!! :repost2:

Mine has been working funky for at least 10 years. Had a electronics freind laugh then I use to hit the dash to read the clock.

Its been 4 years since a smack would make it work again. But lately I think it beleives in chirstmas, because on a few mornings it is working bright and normal. Diving to the end of street it just dims out. What a flirt!

Now my wifes car is just fine. No problems.

My clock only works when its really cold out. :(

89badmaxse Dec 19, 2006 07:31 PM

JRS89MAX Dec 19, 2006 08:11 PM

Gotta wake it up every morning with a good smack. One day i'll do the sticky

Mine Works... No Hitting Required...

But back on topic.... mine works most of the time, but isn't there a little mod you can do to make it so it doesn't dim??

Well, my 89' SE clock still works with no dimming unless of course lights
are on...my advise...just get a aftermarket clock and apply to lower dash
in cool blue light...

yours, Drew
