"Most  manufacturers had the clock on the lighting system circuit which 
runs on a  ten amp fuse. When a car is in storage or the battery becomes 
weak, there  is not enough voltage to kick the relay open, but the 
battery still has a  large amperage. This will burn the windings of most 
clocks out before  blowing the fuse. The cure for this is to install a 
two amp quick-blow  fuse and fuse holder in power feed to the clock so it 
runs on it's own  circuit." --

Hey, we surf the same websites!  I read that the other day too.   And it 
makes a little more sense now that I read it again.  Since I haven't  installed my 
clock yet, maybe now would be a good time to make a new, hi-speed,  low-drag 
power wire that includes a fuse......
 
Thanks, Gary
