I had a small clock in my 86 240 that seemed to only run when the car was on and it turned out that the capacitors had gone bad. If you are at all electronicly minded you can fix your clock. I pick this up from a past post made by Jessie.


1. Uncrimp the seal band by prying all the way around it with a small screw driver. Be careful not to stab your hand. You will need to unsolder a connection on the back of the clock and remove the 2 screws. This is the most difficult part of the entire procedure.
2. Locate the 2 capacitors (approx. .5 inches round and .5 inches tall) Mine were gold in color.
3. Unsolder these caps and buy 2 220 micro Fd at 35VDC or Radio shack #272-1029. Solder these new capacitors in remember to watch for polarity.
4. Reassemble clock and just bend down the seal ring in a couple of places for easy access in the future.
5. I tested my clock with a power supply for about a week before replacing it into the car.

If you can repair your clock it will save you about $150 if you go to Volvo.
