If both are non functional then it is probably a fuse.

If it is just the clock that works sometimes then it is probably weak solder and the clock needs to be repaired. Check out www.autoclockrepair.com for a very reasonable repair solution, removal instructions, and more.

How do you remove the clock from a Subaru Forester?

well mine is a 1998 , if yours is same body,just take a small screwdriver and pry bezel out gently, then just unplug, for clock use same small screwdriver to pop clock from bezel, fyi if it's not working likely one or more small resitors has a bad solder joint or has fallen out completely, if you are comfortable you can take clock apart, and resolder the joints on the three small rectangular resistors, they have numbers on them and on the board to show where they go, my one resistor fell out when i took clock apart,resoldered them and it is working fine now, also a guy on eBay will fix it for around 20 dollars plus what it costs to ship to him, good luck

How do you remove clock in 2001 Subaru Forester?

The process is quite straight forward; with a small flathead screwdriver, butterknife, or small key, gently insert into the upper left side of the bezel until it pops. Then repeat on the right side until the bezel completely pops out. Then remove the clock/bezel, unclip the wiring harness from the clock and remove the clock from the bezel. It generally takes 2-3 minutes, just work slowly. Check out my bio page for the website that gives you a pictorial on how to do so.

How do you get the clock to work in your 98 Subaru Forester?

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!
