I cannot remove the dash plate to replace the clock.

The directions for removing the dash do not seem to work on my car. The clock is in a different place on the dash and the dash plate does not want to come off.

SOURCE: removal of 57 plate x type jaguar car stereo

unclip plastic surround from gear stick, then remove ash tray - i know i didnt think it sounded right either...carry on...remove plastic cover now thats hiding 2 torx screws, remove them.
at the top of the unit near the hazards, that little section pops off to reveal 2 more torx 60? screws, remove them, and it will just pop out. the unit looks like it could just slot the stereo part out but you cant.

SOURCE: How to remove dash panels...need to replace heater core

You need to buy a repair manual first. You must have the feon removed, because you must disconnect the AC lines from the evaporator, It took me about 4 hours. The screws are under the dash at each end plus in the middle there is a support brace bracket.

I solved this issue by using a miniature ~6" Teflon coated crowbar/nail puller, and pried around the edge of the trim until the "catches", which held the trim in place slowly released.
At that point I was able to pull the trim off.

I have a 1995 toyota corolla that the clock has started resetting itself to random times while the car is on. All other electricals seem to be functioning fine, just the clock. Any suggestions besides...

The clock will reset to 1:00, I believe, if its power supply is interrupted and then resumed. This could happen randomly if the clock's electrical connectors have come loose. To verify this, you would need to pull the clock and radio dash panel. This is not too difficult to do, just remove the heating control arm tabs then pry the panel loose at the edges using a flathead screwdriver - the panel is held in just by spring clips. If the clock connections seem secure, you might consider replacing the clock. Inexpensive replacement clocks are available on eBay or from salvage yards.

Replacing dashboard clock. How do I remove the dash? 1997 Ford Escort

You shouldn't have to remove the dash to replace a clock, the dash basically does not come out. It would take you 2 days to do it. The clock itself should pop out of its spot and be serviceable.

No heater fan 1999 chevy astro van

There is a vacuum line that is operated by your selector switch, it is located under the hood, roughly in the center, up against the fire wall. If the line has leaks, your selector switch will not work and therefore your blower doors will not open and your heat will not be directed to the cabin of your vehicle. Replace the line.
