Starter went out. I had it replaced. Replacement was bad, so took it back to the shop. They checked the electrical to make sure it was just the starter. Starts fine now. But the dash analog clock is dead. The trip odometer works, but resets to zero. The AC thermostat works, but resets to 75 when the car is turned off. It used to keep the previous temperature. All of these items occurred during the starter fix. Have taken it to the shop that did the starter twice. They are clueless.

The memory curcuit for the system is bad. Check for a blown fuse.
