I'm not electronically inclined, so I was hoping someone could help me solve a problem. I recently removed the long-dead clock from my 1977 280Z, and checked it out. The wiring to the clock is carrying 12 volts (as it should), and there is continuity between the power lead and the ground lead on the clock. When 12 volts are sent through the clock, the magnets twitch slightly, but don't run at all. I know that in water pumps (my line of work) the magnets can wear out or there can be a problem with the coil. Is it the same with the clock? Or is it the electronic components (transistors, capacitors, God knows what else) ? This clock seems like a real simple device, but I haven't been able to locate one that works in four years of searching. If you can help me, please e-mail me since this is a personal problem and I don't want to bother the group. Thanks a lot. -Boots. boots@watserv.ucr.edu
