The in-dash clock in my 94 Altima has gone a little wacky and I need
some ideas. Symptoms: When you press the brake pedal, the clock display
sometimes turns off (i.e. no display). The clock does not reset;
therefore, I assume it is not loosing the always-on power connection.
As an interesting twist, if the headlights are turned on, the clock does
not ever turn off. Anybody have a wiring diagram for the clock or any
ideas of how it operates? Any ideas on how best to diagnose the problem?

Thanks

Check the tail/brake lamp bulbs for shorts. Also check the bulb housings for
loose connections to ground at the sockets.

Thanks for the tip. I found a loose ground wire on one of the brake
light sockets. Once I tightened the wire, the problem went away. Took
all of 2 minutes once I knew what to look for.

Thanks again,

Keith

checked the back lights for loose connections, I did not find anything.
