jim Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 The clocks in both my facelifts have been temperamental, my last one used to stop working every now and again but would normally start again when it felt like it. My current one hasn't worked for a couple of months now and when I was fitting my headunit yesterday I checked to make sure it was connected properly and securely - it was. Anyone got any ideas, is it likely to be the clock itself that's died, or does anyone know if it's on a separate fuse that might have blown (everything else works as it should)? Ta!

brassbones Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Could be a dry joint like I seem to have on the heater lights? These things are 20 years old. See if you can find an electronics repairer on yell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I have the same problem, not had time to look into it yet. Let me know if you find a solution please! Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r2ck_p Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Mine stopped working two years ago, replaced it and now all fine. Was near impossible to source a replacement. Was looking for over a year for one. If anyone wants to buy my none working one so they can have a look at electronics in it and have a go at repairing it, it's for sale.

Pete Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Well...I dismantled mine today, redid the solder joints as they looked bad. No effect. I could hear the cogs moving, but not engaging somehow inside? So I decided to dismantle it further - bad idea. They have weird thin strands of copper that go to the pins, needless to say by the time I realised it was too late and I fear it's beyond saving now.
