Hey folks,
I just wanted to know if anyone could point me to some information about what might be wrong with the in-dash clock in my Loyale. Sometimes it cuts out altogether, it doesn't keep it's time for more than a couple hours when it works at all, and when you turn the marker lights/headlights on, it dims (This might be/probably is normal, but I've never gotten the clock working long enough to be sure. . ) Could this be a problem with the wiring to the clock module, or the module itself? If it's the module, can a replacement be obtained from my local stealership? I've taken a look through the Chilton manual and searched Google for stuff about this but neither seem to say much about it. If it's a stealer part only, I'll probably have to go to a junkyard - when I asked the parts guy down there if they ever made a cruise control for the Loyale, he said, "Yes, but good luck finding one, Subaru doesn't make that part anymore." So if they don't make the cruise control, I doubt they make the clocks anymore, either. :(
I suspect a lot of other Subaru models of this era (GL's, Justy's, etc, etc) had this same clock module, and if that's the case, one could probably be obtained from a junkyard, but how prone to failure are they?
Thanks in advance,
