Tom The clock thing is a first for me. I am assuming you have disconnected the battery for a while to get it to reset with no luck? If that failed I would get it repaired. Since the light output is ok the rest is rather low tech stuff by today's standards and can be fixed rather easily I would think. As for the lights - What you want to do is pretty easy. But, let me suggest that you will not like it. The light output does not balance very well. What I have been most happy with is just eliminating the AC bezel light completely during the day. The panel now just illuminates when I turn on the lights. This way the lighting comes on using the internal resistance (the red module #9). It works great. You can make this happen by merely disconnecting or cutting the LGW wire between the AC panel illumination relay (11) and the resistor (the red one #9) in the relay compartment. Harold McElraft - 3354
