Can you send me a fixed version, too? Thanks in advance – although it might help more people if you post instructions on where to make the fix, or perhaps post a fixed version for anyone to DL.

This worked excellent on an 02 Impreza 2.5RS. You have brought my faith back in the internet. Excellent, well explained and thought-out tutorial. This repair cost me a total of $5 for a soldering iron at harbor freight tools.

Notes on my install:
1. I only removed the vent bezel cover (you only really need to do it to see the clips for the clock cover)

2. I Used a narrow (1.5″) putty knife wrapped in electrical tape to ‘pop out’ the clock dash cover.

3. After trying the front clips for about 10 mins, the back clips came out almost effortlessly with my wrapped putty knife. So i would suggest prying open the back (closest to the windshield) first.

4.I had to solder both the 510 and 300 resistors (so check them both). And keep track of the little buttons that pop out when taking the clock out of the bezel cover. I almost lost one.

But 5/5 post, and thanks for saving me from having to buy a new clock from the subie dealer.

Brilliant my Forester clock is now working. 5 min with a narrow point soldering iron to both ends of 501 did the trick. Do not try soldering components this size with anything other than a fine tip and the minimum touch of tip and extra solder.

Hi Jason,
Could you also send me the fixed file too? I’m stumbling into the same problem: when the data gets generated dynamically (thus consuming more time and not pre-loading completely) the OFC only loads the first dataset (line, etc.)
Thank you!
