It was replacement of the electrolytic capacitors. I believe iirc, there are 2. Avaliable at radioshack. I did my clock, and the timer on the dome light,
that was a transistor. The clock was an easier repair, if you know how to
solder well. The values and polarity on the caps in the clock are marked.
Just take 'em out and replace. A "solder-sucker" tool helps, but I've done
similar things without it. Just be careful not to over heat things. With no
solder sucker I quickly made a solder "puddle" that encompasses both board connections then gently press the cap side ways. Repeat in the other direction heating gently. When it comes off, then heat the hole and
quickly blow with your mouth on the hole to blow out the solder, so the new leads can go in. Then solder in the new cap, clip off the leads and you're golden. You can buy the solder sucker to at radioshack for 20 bucks.
Makes it a lot easier.
