My alternator died a few weeks ago. All these symptoms started at once:
'Charge' light on, 'brake' light on, clock does not work, security light
does not flash, and the trip odometer has no memory when key is off.
Replaced the alternator. This fixed the charge and brake lights, but
clock, security, and trip meter still do not work.
Any ideas?
A hint, but don't let it distract you: the car was fine, had no
electrical issues until I got it back from the body shop after hitting a
deer (which caused relatively minor damage). I have checked all
electricals near where they worked, I can find no problems.
All fuses and links appear ok.
Could there be an internal fuse, or diode, or...?
HELP! THANKS!
-Mike

I would first begin by getting a wiring diagram and finding out
whether the clock, security, and odometer power share a common
circuit. From your statements... it appears that's the case... but I
certainly don't know this for a fact... and it needs to be verified.
I'm not sure what part the faulty alternator played in this issue. Did
it cause the problem? or was it damaged by the problem? In any
event... if the charging system seems to be functioning properly
now... you need to investigate the "common" circuit scenario we
discussed. If in fact these three items are on the same circuit... and
the fuse is good... then it would probably be a reasonable assumption
that you have an open-circuit between the fuse and power junction of
those three devices.
