How to fix your clock issues and warning lights

[ChevyCC]

Great Info!
My aveo '09 resets &/or doesn´t keep proper track of time (only when car not in function), did the dismount, cleaned inspected welded joits and re-attached...lasted only a couple of days.
Will do again under magnifying glass.
Thanks

When you do the repair, make sure you have a hot soldering iron and get the solder nice and hot. Cold solder joints don't last for anything.

If mine ever dies again, I will most likely attempt this fix. I took the old one apart when I tossed it, but I actually didn't look that close at the solder joints. It most likely could have been fixed, but mine was $20 on eBay with free shipping. Oh well...


It did the annoying resets to 1:00 and would go off and on sometimes resetting to 1:00 and sometimes not. It liked to drove me bonkers...

This is exactly what mine does. But being a female, I don't think I can do the repair. I don't have a soldering gun and wouldn't know where to start.

I think I could take some step by step pics for you when I do mine & upload afterwards.

That would be totally awesome. I would appreciate it, thank you.

Being female you can certainly do the repair. We employ women for fine soldering work as they do a better job than most a guys in the factory where I work.

So here is a great video on how to do by a really cool geek chick:
