The top clocks in the Forester had bad solders when they were made. If you have a bit of soldering know-how it is really quite simple to repair. Pull the clock out and you'll notice that 1 or 2 of the chips on the right of the screen may have broken away from the board. Resolder these on very carefully and the clock should function correctly.
Added for help in locating the break:
Look for the 510. That's the usual spot. You will need a magnifying visor to see it. If it looks bubbly but not broken its the culprit. They had soldering issues.
Check out the seller atjoefan on eBay. He has repaired over 200 clocks for a very economical price and offers a lifetime warranty to boot. Can't beat that!
