Stupid Clock

Post by 92RedMX3 »

Anyone know the color of wire and where it goes that controls the clocks memory? The clock works when the car is on, once its off, back to default. EVERYTHING else works fine. Interior lights, guages, lighter, everything. Fuses are all fine. Please help.

No I don't but I bet if you searched around in the dash wiring diagram in the online manual here at MX-3.com you could find it.

There's probably a fuse out on the memory power lead.....that's my guess. Just like a CD player that has two power leads - one for memory, and one for power on - I bet the clock is set up like this too.

the clock is with the interior lights, if they were working then the fuse might be bad, it happened in my car

I had the SAME problem....ALL th wires should be used.... It's been a while, but I do remember that without a red wire my lights didn't come on at all!!! My clock stays on 24/7 though the way I have them wired. My dash lights didn't come on either till I figured what wire went where, I just hooked up one of the reds to a blue...I can't remember though..If i do then I'll get back to ya on it.
Ferrari Red w/silver Metallic 92' Mx-3 GsR: Blown 5 Built motors from my past project and am going to N/A for a while as I get use to Megasquirt for proper tuning then may boost....TT setups have too much lag and too low of a power output for the rpm range i sought....Single is better and may do that in future...New project is custom Alum Mani/ with 3-4" runners...NO ?'s about my previous setup I don't want anyone to waste as Much $$$$$$ as I did...listen to BabyBlue and the those guys and go with thier F/I setups
