clock issue
Took a little time to work on my 77 today, had to replace the temp gauge. well everything worked except for the temp gauge, now that i have it back in the car everything works except for the clock. it worked when I took it out now nothing. but if i pull out the **** and start the change the time the second hand starts moving and the clock works. as soon as I release the adjustment **** the clock stops. any idea whats going on here? i searched the web and around here on the forums and so far havent found an answer.

Its worked flawlessly since I have had the car. Was working when I took it out today to replace the temp gauge, reinstalled it 15 minutes later and now it only works when I try to change the time as soon as I release the **** it stops.

Was it in your garage? Is it dusty it here?
My guess is that when you removed it, it was exposed to dust in the air, and the dust has gunked up the works. So, im guessing it just needs a good cleaning.

possible, but not likely it was out of the car less than 15 minutes and the clock itself was never exposed to any dust or dirt.

Make sure the contacts to the printed circuit are tight and nuts on with
open side down(raised ridges contact printed circuit)
If you have smooth side down , It might not break surface.
WD-40 lightly sprayed in hole in rear will lube works.......
Also, make sure the contacts in the plug for all the gauges in the center console are not folded or torn......
