I have the same problem with the analog clock on my '84. I remember seeing
it discussed on this list in the past and have assumed it is fairly common.
All I can say is if you think it's bad there in Florida, you should bring
your van up to the Northwest. The only time my clock works is after the
heater has been on for a half hour. The hands have only been around the dial
about 5 times all winter.
Another possibility:  UFO abduction!!!!!

Subject: why does my electric clock stop and go?

I own a 1984 passenger Vanagon and it seems like when the colder weather
hits here in Florida down below 70's at night I have my clock in the
dashboard stop  and when it warms up the next day it resumes....whats the
most likely problem?
