I ended up taking mine apart and cleaning the contacts really well with contact cleaner and a small straight screwdriver... So far so good... Mine would sometimes come on for a few seconds, minutes, even a day at a time and then be out for months lol..

i noticed it turned on today for the first time in about 3 years, only b/c it was freezing cold outside, and i remember it only turns on when its really cold, then after about a minute it dies out. so the clock works. what could be the problem guys?

More than likely a small crack in a connetion inside the clock on a circuit board, or a cracked resisitor. My strategy would be to comb EBay and salvage ppl for a replacement. Should be less than $15.

This is a common problem and is easily fixable. Please check out ebay site or www.autoclockrepair.com. I have the clock removal instructions there if you need them. Thanks!
