  • Here I'm fixing one of those 90's and early 00's lit-up digital clocks in an old Toyota. It's a zero dollar fix--always a favorite.

    I replaced all my interior lights to the very same deep blue that u have there but its so hard to get the clock to be the same blue now 😂 im even looking for aftermarket replacement ones

    Mine works sometimes, but not other times. It's in an 06 Chevrolet Aveo LS. The warning lights always work, but the clock display only works sometimes. It doesn't lose track of time either. Any idea what could cause that?

      @@green3488 since it keeps time, it's likely a display issue like this. Is it a VFD display like this? Super common to have cracked solder on the power resistors, across many makes and models. I found the same issue on our KitchenAid oven!

      @@CheapskateGarage I determined it's most likely two big 160 ohm resistors that are measuring as 140 ohms. Ordered better ones.

      It sounds like the same problem here, though perhaps only one of the resistors is disconnected. Have you checked the resistors shown in the video for solder cracking?

    Hello, same tehnique for the celica t23 clock ?

      I'm not sure. Did it look similar when it used to work? Pretty much any VFD display draws decent current, makes a little heat, and eventually cracks solder joints. I've had to fix them in VCRs, instrument panels, ovens, etc. It's worth investigating.
