the clock in the dash (silver alloy bezel type white dial) stopped for some reason the connections are fine behind the dash got 12v.. so all seemed good set the time again watched it for a few minutes all ok left it over night and the clock worked for an hour or so then stopped.. checked connections again and 12v again set the clock which was 8.40 last night got up this morning and it said 10.55???

is the little black adjuster sticking? i can see 2 screws in the back of the clock does it come apart to spray a little wd40? or is it just fubar?


any ideas apart from ive been thru a time warp hehe

Well, it's midday now, so I suspect it's your other clocks that are wrong.

(and you are late for work)

If you leave it as it is then at least it'll be accurate twice a day... hehe
