How about sometime in the new year, those of us with broken dash clocks, get together for a clock fixing workshop?
For my car it was an easy job to resolder the clock power joints - the difficulty was snapping the clock out of the dash.

Getting the clock out isnt an issue The soldering is for me
well ill be keen on that, and maybe i might just get some brake pads? anyone keen on that. lol

On my clock the solder joints were clearly broken, so it was just a matter of putting a dab of solder on each broken joint and then the clock was fine. I could certainly re-do a basic solder joint, but probably not much more than that, not that I think anything more is neccessary. As an alternatve, there is a bloke on trademe who will fix your clock for $20.
yup gly is the dude on trade me who does them. send him a pm if your keen
yep thats me, if you cant be arsed send it to me and ill sort it out
Or don't have the know-how. For those in Oz, we have a member called "GavDaniels" who can do that as well as look over your capacitors for you too
hw do ya get the clock out? does it just take a little force?
push up on the front shade lip, its just cliped down, quite tight
Yep - serious clippage! Lever it upwards, sometimes releasing the back first helps. Be careful not to damage the smoked plastic, though. That is easy to do if you apply a screwdriver for extra force!
oky ive got it off, but cant see anything wrong with it, has any1 got a pic of what normally goes worng with them
open it up..
resolder the 4 pin power plug
k thx
