Erratic Clock (Not OBC) -- FAQ fix successful



Well, today was the planned day to put in the front cam seal and fix that 
annoying oil leak.  Thanks to Henri and Alex for the suggestions and 
pointers.  But I just wasn't up to 4 hours work to put in a $8 piece of 
rubber today.....so instead I took care of a lot of little stuff.

Sy Choudhury's fix cured my erratic clock.  (FAQ 15.7.7:   Fixing Erratic 
Clock (not OBC)).  Thank you Sy - that clock's been a mess for the last 6 
years.

Not only did I remove and resolder the multi-pin connector as per the FAQ 
,  I also resoldered the ambient light sensor and the 12hr/24hr/degC/degF 
selector switch, curing problems in those areas too.   The bad solder 
joints had a lot of flux around them - bet they didn't clean the flux off 
during manufacturing.  I did try just reheating the old solder, but that 
didn't work.  A complete removal per the FAQ did the trick.

Yes, I did hit it with flux remover when I was done.

Off for some beer.....
