WTF...What makes it tick (electrical) ?
I have my stcok clock in my 71 and sometimes it works sometimes it don't.
Well yesterday while installing a new stereo I had the battery Neg. cable
disconnectedand I look up to see the clock working :crazy:
While I'm no electrical wiz, this one has me completely baffled.....
Any Ideas out there as to how this can be ????

It must have a capacitor in it that is charged and takes a little while to discharge after power is removed from it. A capacitor is basically a very small battery.
