My dash clock doesnt work. After reading a few posts brought up by the search function its either the fuse or the wireing to the clock.

Can someone please tell me which fuse affects the dash clock and where its located, what amps it is.

Someone said theres a couple of fuses called "electronic parts" under the dash that are 10a fuses?

Any help greatfull.

Cheers.

I have the same problem however all fuses have been checked. After my car was resprayed the head unit would not work and the aircon kept resetting to 25.0'C each time I turned the car on.

So what I'm saying is, if your aircon remembers the last temperature that was set, it is unlikely to be the fuse.

And that's where I stopped fault finding! :rofl: I have two clocks sitting on the bench - neither work - so I guess it isn't the clock itself either...

For what it's worth,

yeah i got a prob with the clock too, but i havnt looked into it yet.

the clock should have 4 wires going into it, earth, constant 12v, ignition, and illumation.

both the ingtion and constant 12v wires should be on fuses.

also, they dont have their own fuses, they probley share with other accessories.

Ill double check the shop manual, to be sure, to be sure

My clock dont work. I havent looked into it either. Not much help here sorry, but i thought that i'd just mention that every R32 i've been in the clocks were never working. It must be very common indeed. I'll get around to it sometime but just a matter of time.

clock works in all my 32s. i dont think i've ever seen one not working.

Steve any ideas on how to bench test one? Does the ignition need to be connected?

I assume illumination is not required - it will just remain on max brightness?

Here's the scan, for what it's worth.

Sweet thanks.

The only 2 that im not sure of are the 2x10amp "electronic parts" fuses.

Other than that i might just have to give the clock a miss, bugs me though.. :thumbsup:

Hey Mark, you might have to make the clock the subject of your next in depth tutorial mate!!! :D

Ps I decided to try and give a simple tutorial a go...

sweet, ill check it out!

also, i checked the clock plug on my gtr yesterday, and there was 0 power going to it, so i suspect its a differant problem. might be the fuse, but everything else works, and i doubt theyd have a single fuse for the clock.

ill let you know my findings

steve

bah f**k it. the shop manaual is freaking useless.

each wire has a special number which allows you to folow the wire through out the whoel diagram.

on the manual these a blured, which makes it impossible to folow unless you print out the schematic.

i have a print out at home, which i might try to follow.

does anyone has a high res copy???

Did you try the 2 fuses marked "Electronic Parts" under the dash? I think there both 10Amp.

I cant believe something as simple as a little clock could be such a pain in the ass!!! ;)

I might try and re-wire it into something else... :D

when i got my gtr the clock didnt work but didnt worry me, and my head light switch s##t it self and got one on ebay and come with dash surround with clock so i chucked it in and works fine, i have heard they are just cheap

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
