So I have a pretty weird problem with my 2002 WRX. It's pretty trivial, but it has managed to confuse me.

Every time I start the car, my clock does not light up. After 5 to 10 minutes, it will eventually turn on as normal. Correct time and everything. It will work for the remainder of the trip, but the very next time I start the car, it will not light up again for 5/10 minutes. I've tried to take it apart and see if anything was loose, but I can't find any reason for the problem.

Anyone have any idea? Or do I need to call a priest for an exorcisms?

Thanks!

 

I'll bring the holy water and cross.

I don't know what it could be but I will say that in my '99 Tahoe, the radio and clock won't work if you turn the heat on. Even on a hot day, you have to turn the AC on and then it'll come on eventually.

This probably dosen't help at all but, *shrug*

 

The same happened to me a couple months ago. Soon it'll go from 5-10 minutes to 15-20 minutes 'til turn on, then it just won't turn on at all. Had to buy a new clock from the dealer. Part #85201FC000 I believe.
