legacybb Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi, New to here. The info/clock display in 2005 Legacy went out couple weeks ago, I have taken the clock /trip pc out yesterday, but I have no idear how to fix it. The brightness fuction still working, just the display went blank, not sure about other fuctions.Does anyone know how to repair it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
executor485 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Have you checked your fuses? I've never heard of these displays failing. If I pass you on the right, I'm flipping you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssbtech Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hmm.. I doubt it's the fuse if nothing else isn't working since the clock doesn't have it's own fuse. The fuse box is behind a panel below and to the left of the steering wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashbournian Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I have exactly the same problem with our 2005 Legacy If I remove the unit I can make it work by flexing it a bit, so must be dodgy connection on PCB somewhere. On Forester models seems to be resistor R51 or 151 (can't remember) which can be fixed by careful soldering. Can anyone advise where to look on the PCB or has a working one for sale 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.

gc8fxt Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 My clock only displays when it's very cold outside/in-the-car and only shows up for a minute or so. Then disappears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
