Digital clock resetting when opening / closing door interior light not working..

[jscsub]

I've seen similar problems posted, but no fixes. I've just had my digital cluster worked on (yes I have checked the wiring for any damage and to ensure everything is reconnected securely). However, I now have several problems:1. clock continues to reset to 1:00 everytime open door or restart car.2. Interior light not working3. Radio not keeping settings almost like battery is disconnected after each use.4. Antennae not raising5. Auto seatbelts only work when car is on - when before if you opened / closed door they retracted fine.

Otherwise, all other lights, signals work, radio does turn on fine, speedometer and HUD work fine now (original reason why cluster was worked on).

Thanks in advance,--Jesse

UPDATE: 09 Feb....

To Add: Okay not the 'electronics' fuse as I verified with an ohm meter it is fine - however using the fluke directly on the fuse connector it shows an open - not good.

Other weird thing......clock also turn OFF and door light warning comes ON when I turn on the interior lights!

I've been looking at wiring and taking another ohm measurment of the interior light and it show a short - as well as two wires on the door open sensor.

I have disconnected the digital cluster, while the clock does not work with it disconnected of course, the seat belt problem still exists with it only working (auto seat belt) with the keys in the ignition turned, and interior lights still don't work, antennae, etc.....

HELP!! ! Suggestions?!!?!

Okay, this is what I did to fix:As I had replaced the digital cluster I removed again (pain) to see if any wires were pinched, cut, etc - after much inspection none. I checked the 'electronics' fuse and not blown. Checked various bits and pieces, finally I decided to check ALL fuses and I found the interior 10A 'Room Lamp' fuse was blown. I can't believe that that fuse affected the radio, antennae, clock, seat belts, door indicator too!!! Replaced fuse and all works fine now - whew, I was worrying this was going to have to be a big expensive rewire job.

yup... learn from other people's mistakes...

moral of story: check easiest things 1st

thanks for the update, jscsub

hopefully this will be easily searchable & would help some other person greatly!
