Dead clock

[Emerald94]

My clock doesn't work anymore. I replaced with a working unit but it still doesn't work. What could be wrong, fuse, bad wires?

Did you check the fuses??

Try fuse # 8 (15 amp). Also has the power mirrors on it.

Checked the fuse. It's ok.
The problem seems more like there's no juice getting to the clock itself.
How can I confirm this?

Pop the dash off to get access to the clock. Check the wires going to the clock with a test light or multimeter and see if there's voltage to it when the key is on.

If there is power, then maybe your clock just is just dead.

GO ON EBAY AND SEARCH under Ford manuals and you'lll find a guy selling actual Ford service manuals including all wiring diagrams for a whopping $8 BUCKS!

My clock won't work when the lights are on. When i adjust the dimmer/autolamp lower it comes back but the panel lights are too dim. It loses time as well so it's not just the display.
