Just purchased a clock as part of group of center console gauges online from someone that said it was working when they pulled the console out. It was the only one of the three (volt and temp) that was not all scratched up. It was completely frozen. Now I have 2 that don't work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
I went to North Hollywood Speedo and they said "Service on these can range from $195 to $385. 1-5 day turn around." I don't need a clock that bad.... Anyone have recommendation for a reasonable repair on the center console clock? (later model) |

My thoughts exactly. You started with a broken clock, you may be able to fix. If you do a thread may be in order. I have a feeling it could be a simple process.

I keep telling my wife, "What am I going to do - break it more?" Usually successful, but also know when to call/send to the professionals. Fixed our hand mixer yesterday - just some dirty switch contacts. Whrrrr.... |

What drove me to try and fix this was the replacement cost. Hopefully it's just the capacitor and it's so true... I had a non-working clock to begin with so only up from here I guess. |
