clock goes out?
On my SE, with the passenger door closed the digital display in the quartz clock goes out. When I open the door it comes back on------weird!

Sounds like a ground problem. The switch in the door that activates the dome light to come on is a ground switch. It seems your clock is finding ground through that switch and not the wire it is supposed to.

Mine did that. I believe it ended up being a really odd fuse, like my cruise control.
