Hi, I read with interest an excellent earlier post showing how to replace the two capacitors that often fail on the analogue dash clocks. His clock still ticked. Mine doesn’t work, so I removed it, and put 12v straight across the terminals.  Absolutely nothing happened, and it didn’t tick. Everything looks remarkably clean, and I can see no signs of damage, shorts or likely dry joints.  Can anyone advise, as there is no ticking, if the fault could still be the capacitors please?  If so, I will change them. Thanks in advance.

I have read that the capacitor is a common fault with the analogue clock. And there is a resistor that could well need replacing as well.

Thanks Rob,  I can see one small resistor.  If the capacitors don’t fix it, I can cut out the resistor, and replace it on the back of the PCB without taking the clock to bits.
