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!!!

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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
