Re: [Peugeot-L] Problems with 505 digital clock & seat warmers

Hello Roger,

I have the same car.

Clock : First time I replaced the bulb. It was burned out. ( Not your problem.)

             Second time I took the clock out and re- soldered the printed circuit board, mostly the connector pins. (probably your problem.)

It has worked since then for many years.

If you are experienced at this kind of repair, go for it. If not, send it to me and I will do it for you. Cost: shipping only.

Hi-

The clock in my '87 505 STI went from working perfectly two days ago to being barely visible yesterday.

Here are the symptoms:

- Still keeps time
- Numbers dim, but still visible
- Illumination doesn't change at all when I turn on
the headlamps

Does this signal the end of my clock? Is it normal for these clocks to dim, but not fail altogether? Are there any good repairs other than replacement?

I've noticed new ones are quite expensive, so a good repair solution would be great.

Also, what does it mean when buttons on the dash no longer "click" into place? Specifically I'm asking about my seat warmer buttons. Other buttons, like the hazard and defroster, audibly "click" when engaged. My seat warmer buttons just push back, but do not click or seem to engage. Could this be why my seats do not warm, or is this indicative of some other problem with my seat warmers?

Any thoughts and/or ideas would be much appreciated, Roger Dana
