Oh, right, add Emergency Flashers to the list of things that need full time
power.
While the guts of your clock have been replaced with something more
modern, and I wish I knew how to do that, I believe the new guts still receive
power from the original wire. (There's no battery in your clock, is there?) I
know I've looked at it while doing other stuff on your car, but didn't have time
to do a detailed inspection. I'd like to, someday.
I doubt if your clock conversion changed anything else. We can certainly
look at this come warmer weather.
