Rallye Gauge Clock Madness

Postby cdecristo » 22 Feb 2005 21:30

I recently worked on my electrical issues with my car. I plugged in the grey clock wire, and suddenly the clcok started going mad. It looked like the twilight zone clock. It kept going round and round , super fast. Any ideas? The clock never worked before, but I had a electrical guy go through my dash to fix a turn signal problem. Thanks

The clock is mechanical. The electric supply to it is just to wind the spring up every few mins.

Sounds like someone may have put a 1.5 vDC clock movement in the dash from a battery-powered alarm clock. Try a double-A battery for a power source and see what happens.
