Replace Digital Clock

Post by davery »

So I was able to get an analog clock and am wanting to replace my digital clock. The digital clock has a gray, red, yellow and black. Before I start the trail and error process, anyone know which color goes to where on the analog clock?

pull the digital one touch the black to the neg side of a 9v batt
and then the red to the pos the clock should work
then the yellow im not sure what it will work
and the grey should be the back light
when you do everything correct people arent sure youve done anything at all (futurama)

Black to neg, red to pos and gray to the light. OK, thanks.

Please show us a photo after you get it installed. That digital clock is an eyesore for most of with Pininfarinas. And were you able to find a analog that fit the square opening, or did you have to modify your dash?

I am either replacing or veneering in all the wood or wood-like peices, I haven't decided which yet.
