The LCD clock in the dash has never worked and I will now add this to the growing list of Winter jobs.
Anyone replaced theirs? Tried to find one at Busfest but drew a blank
Thanks
Steve

I've not replaced the clock in my van but, at the weekend I was replacing the stereo and discovered two red wires twisted together "feeding the stereo", the thinner of these two wires seems to feed the clock.
maybe yours isnt connected.

Thanks Tony,
But it is kaput. Has a discoloration on one side so think the unit has met its maker. I might be able to find something at Maplin or RS.

you got any pics of the back of your clock matey, as the copper strip that powers the clock only fits in one way, so it may not be fitted properly

I think it is FUBAR. There is a discolouration on the front as if the LDC has 'leaked'.
