Can't help you with #1, but one piece of info that could help you on the
clock/radio problem. The clock and the turn-signals are on the same circuit.
If your turn-indicators still work, then the problem would have to be
upstream from the fuse block If the turn-indicators don't work, then the
problem is likely on downstream (i.e. on the battery side) of the fuse block


hope this helps
