Like the title says, I'm having trouble with the full sized clock that is in the instrument panel of my 1990 240 DL. It worked fine a while ago, but after removing the instrument panel a couple times lately to replace bulbs, etc it now does not work. The fuse is good (checked visually and with a meter) and is getting voltage as the other circuits on the same fuse are working properly. Also, all the wires are connected properly to the back of the instrument panel. My wiring diagram is silent on the clock for some reason, SO......can anyone please tell me which wire or wires go to the clock? I would like to meter them out to be sure I have good voltage and ground before I pull out and replace the clock.

Many thanks

 

Ok, I pulled the cluster and checked the wiring for the clock and it all checks good. Next I pulled the clock out of the cluster and hooked it up directly to a spare battery. After a half hour, no movement of the gears or hands so it is safe to say the clock bit the dust.

SO, does anyone have a working large clock (that goes in the instrument cluster) that they would be willing to part with at a reasonable price? This is for my grandsons first car he is working on with me and he does not have a ton of money falling out of his pockets.

Many thanks

 

I have an instrument cluster from a '91 (I believe) that has a clock. Not sure if the clock works as I have never hooked it up. I pulled the cluster from a junkyard. I don't have any 240s any more so I'd be willing to give it to you - just pay shipping. PM me if you are interested.

 

PM sent. Thank you very much!
