trip odometer and clock 5 Months ago  
Yesterday coming home I noticed my turn signals didn't work and my instrument panel was out. everything else was ok as far as running lights and head lights. looked in my fuse box and found a 10 amp fuse was blown. replaced it with one labeled spare. Every thing now works except every time i turn the key off the trip odometer and clock reset. I guess maybe spare doesn't mean spare. I will replace it when I get off work. any other thoughts?

Sorry for the trouble. Old age is a terrible thing. I read backup to mean spare. The backup fuse holds the milage on the trip odometers and clock. mystery solved.

Your turn signal and speedo are on 2 different circuits ...sounds like you replaced a blown turn signal fuse and still have a speedo problem.Good luck...I hate chasing electrical problems....Coug

Edited because I type slow congrats on the fix....

Thanks for the reply. Electrical problems are hard for me because I am partially color blind. The main colors of red, green and blue are ok but wiring diagrams use some strange colors and they cross over one another. But I have successfully put in the clear alternatives combo taillight/ turn signal and a tachometer so all is not hopeless.
