Volvo RWD 1800 Forum

It's usually a little something in there that needs re-soldered, right? The previous owner of our ES had done that repair, and the clock worked when we got the car, but it since stopped working again...

I have not looked at the situation... If you have pictures, that'd be great!

Go to these 2 sites and you will learn all there is to know about your clock. I ran it with a 9 volt battery on the counter for a week and got the setting just right.

One mod I did make was adding a 1.5 amp fuse in line from the battery to the clock power connection. The clock is not fused and always has power so I thought it would be wise. 1st tried a 1 amp but it blew when I hooked up to the battery.
