Hi, this clocks not been working ever since i got this car and i thought id have a look today, it wasnt plugged in. So i plugged it in and it seems to work ok, my question is, why does it stay lit with the key out? is this the reason it was unplugged in the first place? Image

According to the handbook, it should not be lit with the ignition off, but should light if the time or date button is pressed.

Might well have been deliberately modified.
