I just fixed the clock in our MY01 Forester S. We've been without it for a few weeks; it wouldn't be so bad, but the wife doesn't wear a watch, our radio doesn't have a clock, and my watch has no night light on it... It was like being in a time-warp. I'm slightly embarassed to admit that it took me so long to get around to fixing it (we went several months tapping on the clock when it was dark to get it working again)...

Fast, easy fix. It required 2 tools (a screwdriver and soldering iron). I even used my father-in-law's stained glass soldering iron, because I was too lazy to find my own soldering pen in our basement...
