EyeFlyIsTheEye Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Coat a flat tip screwdriver with electrical tape and pry around the bezel. Unplug all connections, unscrew the vents, cubby door and then the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albrike Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 thank you very much can you show it as steps in pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmahh Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I take a small flat headed screw driver, get a soft cloth and cover the tip, then pry at the bottom right and left, you should be able to pull it out at that point. The connector wire length is pretty darn short, first you unplug the top connector [LED for the cubby], then the bottom one for the clock/display. I use a screw driver to push down on the tab - subaru seems to have the worst connectors i've ever messed with. When it's out you remove 3 screws from the back of the cubby, and you're good to go. If you do a search you might be able to find pictures. Just out of curiousity what are you trying to repair? I broke mine a week or two ago.

Jerboa113 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I stick my hands inside the cubby pocket, get a grip on the sides.. and pull out. its worked about 6 times, but one of those 6 times it did damage something.. so.. try the screwdriver. there are tabs on the top and bottom, the 2 upper tabbs iirc are just inside the a/c vents and the bottom 2 a bit farther inside. I dont think I have a picture I can show you unfortunately. a replacement info center runs about $100 iirc.

cjchinn Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Does anyone know which bit of the board is problematic on a 2006 legacy? There are threads on other forums for how to repair similar problems on impreza/forester clocks but I can't find any info on which bit to repair on the legacy. Attached pic of the clock.

garbo41610 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 OMG! Does anyone here actually know how to remove dash trims and door panels properly without scratching the hell out of their interiors??? Go on ebay and invest $10 and buy a set of car trim removal tools. They won't scratch your interiors and will make it a lot easier to remove anything you want. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/CAR-TRIM-DASH-MOLDING-BODY-CLIP-INSTALLER-REMOVAL-TOOLS-/160550868850?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item256193d772 But it's your car, hack it up however you like.

Ashbournian Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I tried running a hot soldering iron over all the soldered joints I could see but this didn't fix mine, either that or I didn't get enough heat into some of the joints. I could get the board to work by flexing it a bit, so suspect there is a bad connection somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisblair Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi I believe I have found the solution to this issue. It is a dry joint just like in the Forester, I have been there and fixed that in my old ST/b. But now I have a 2003 legacy with a busted clock. This component is a bit harder to get to. 1. Pop the clock out of your dash and remove everything you can right down to the PCB, don't touch the connections on the PCB! 2. The component is under the LCD. So you have to un-solder one side of the LCD and bend it over. I suggest the side with only 4 connections. 3. The component is the R4, a surface mount resistor with "511" on top. This just fell off when I went to re-solder it so must have been dry. 4. Put it all back together without breaking anything. Mine is still going strong after the fix. So I hope you have the same luck. Sorry to all the people trying to make money off fixing these but I believe you should have the option to give it a go yourself in true Kiwi style.
