Default Perpetual DST

Tried to set my clock to show daylight savings time today. The Hour setting button no longer works. It had been getting sticky but now it is dead. My choices are to either stay on DST time or move to the eastern time zone. Any suggestions?

If it's on the Crossfire I'd say sell it or disconnect the battery until it is the right time.
Remember it will always be dead on the correct time twice a day, so it's not all bad news.

Don't know what to tell you about fixing the clock, but I've seen small cheap round or square digital clocks (about the size of a quarter, or little larger) that just has a clock on it, and has a peel off backing that you could mount and use. Usually found in the automotive section in stores like Wallyworld. Just a suggestion ....

If you have nav in the radio, that has a clock too. I don't know if the regular radios have that.

I have had good luck on sticky switches with non-residue spray tuner cleaner from the Rat Shack.


or do you know Barney Eaton ? Ask him.

It would be annoying to me to have an incorrect clock in front of me all the time. Hope it's an easy fix for you
