Fixed light in trunk....now clock has stopped??
 

I was fixing some of the annoying little things that bug me the other day.

#1 on this list was the trunk light didn't work. Bulb looked good. I found the hot wire wasn't connected. Plugged it in... nothing. Unscrewed the switch from the hood and found it wasn't even connected, in fact the ground wire was attached to a hex bolt on the underside of the hood!

It appears the previous owned had it wired that way for a reason.

I then wired the ground to the bottom of the switch, the light fired right up, checked to be sure the switch turned on and off when I closed the hood (it did).....Voila, I'm an electrician!

Now the freaking clock has stopped!!! Are these two intertwined somehow?

If I have to choose between the two I'd rather have the clock than the trunk light.
Call me spoiled.....I want them both.

I plan on reversing what I've done with the trunk light this evening to see if this solves the clock issue.

Thanks for any advise

Sean,
Are your interior lights working? I once managed to short out the clock and interior dome lights when I meesed with the wiring for the hood light. Maybe just shorted a fuse.
