Electrical Gremlins got to my interior lights!

About a week ago my interior light stopped working, and my clock started flaking out. What happens is if I open my door my clock turns off, interior lights don't work at all. If I manually turn any of the lights on, they turn off the clock(even the hatch light). My battery seems to be draining too. Any ideas?

hmmm
This could be two or more problems happening at once. If your interior lights just do not work at all then it may just be the "room" fuse check all of them anyways. the clock maybe cold solder joints. I have also heard of people having better operation of their electrical system with new grounds.

Sounds like cold solder joints to me, like 1987RX7guy said. You also may want to check all the fuses, not just the "room" one.

Well turns out it was the Room fuse, dum me... Still my battery isn't holding a charge or getting drained somehow Might go for a Yellow Top Gel based battery.
