Fixing a balky clock.......

[nesslar]

I found several years ago that I could get my clock running again (it had stopped suddenly after a couple years) by simply resetting to the correct time and releasing the the knob. I was pleasantly surprised that this worked! Twice since, same result, and now it has been steadily ticking away for maybe a year...knock on wood.... (picture me tapping my noggin with my knuckles)....or a brick or 30....
Not real technical, but hey.....

My clock also sticks and resetting it works. But I fear something is not right internally and resetting it is just a band-aid.

Agreed. I think it's a good idea to actually clean every single electrical terminal/connection in most of our cars. Too much resistance (as in complete) to current is one thing, resisting the need to "get in there" is worse!
Ironically, BandAids come in handy when "getting in there"............or should I say "after being in there"; knuckle busters and such.....
