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.
