I don't know why, but the dash clock works just perfect when the headlights are off, but when you turn then on it goes out. If you adjust the dimmer it flickers on and off, but will come back on if you turn it to the right spot. Any ideas on this?

Also a bulb went out in back of the gauge pod, how would I remove the cluster? Sorry I don't know much about SN95's just yet.

Basically the only thing that you need is a torx/socket to remove the cluster. It's not hard at all. But i would try replacing the bulb and then if it still does it i'm stumped

My clock went out for a LONG time after I had my Abbot box installed. Then one day it just came back on. Weird. Not sure why this happened?

I fixed the cluster bulb, one just burnt out, no big deal. I pull out the clock and took out the actual box, and it looks like something blew on the LCD screen glass, it looks just like a bulb would if it blew out. I'll try getting one from a JY.

The wierd thing is thatwhen the lights are on it's like it looses all power because after driving for a while with the lights on (and the clock is shut off) you turn the lights off and the time is wrong, like it lost power.
