I have had that problem with my Westy also my old Rabbit analog clock. The problem turned out to be that there are two small electrolytic capacitors in the clock that go bad. They are cheap and not very hard to replace. Have had no more trouble for about four years now. Neal ----- Original Message ----- Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2004 00:08:52 -0500 From: "John P.

I own a 1984 passenger Vanagon and it seems like when the colder weather hits here in Florida down below 70's at night I have my clock in the dashboard stop and when it warms up the next day it resumes....whats the most likely problem?
