Default clock stops working

So my clock on the dash has quite working when I shut the car off. Noticed it after I replaced my horn. When the car is on/key is on the clock works great.

Anything that should be obvious?

Noticed that the preset radio stations were also gone and the clock on the radio was dying 5-6 seconds after the car turned off.

Dang fuses. cleaned up the radio/clock/power locks fuse and problem solved.

The tach i got isnt quite the right one, its weird, the rest of my gauges are flat black, the tach is slightly reflective shade of black. only noticeable in direct sunlight.

There's actually 3 different finishes of black tachs...flat, semi-flat and satin. They all work...but the finish is as you say. At certain angles it is quite obvious. I ended up buying some gauge faces from davebarton.com and resolved it all!
