Clock In R32 Gtr

[cotcho_gtr]

Does anyone here know how to fix the clock in an r32 gtr. Apparently its very common and that most r32 gtr owners

have the same problem. Is it the fuse under the left hand side of the steering column maybe needs changing or does it have a fuse in the fuse box? Im sure someone out there knows or has fixed it!

Thanx Guys!

It should be one of the fuses under the steering column. I remember the stereo and clock in mine weren't working one day, and replacing one fuse fixed both problems.

The stereo works but the clock does'nt, any ideas?

cheers

If you've got an aftermarket stereo, there's a good chance whoever installed it just wired it straight to the battery with an in-line fuse. Just check none of the blade fuses are blown first before you do anything else.

Well it could be your clocks actually broken as well.

My wasn't working so i got given another one and it works now. no changing fuses or anything.

Very common issue. Normally isn't a fuse either. Auto Sparky quoted me $180 to fix it (they apparently have to take the dash apart)

The clocks in a hard to see position anyway

nope. not in a hard spot really at all.

take the cover off that if your in your drivers seat covers from about your shins to your knees (6 screws from memory but don't get caught because one is on the side of the dash that faces the drivers door) and lay with your head at the pedals and feet hanging out the door. (move the seat back as far as it'll go and steerig wheel up as high as it goes) and you'll see the back of the clock with 1 plug in it and 2 screws.

undo the screws, slide the whole thing out and undo the plug when you're sitting out in the driver seat (has a fair bit of slack)

there are 4 dry solder joins under the clock screen on 30 ohm resistors and these are the common problem. takes about 15 minutes to get it out if you have no clue what you're doing but i strongly strongly suggest you take it to an electronics shop to get the clock screen removed and the the soldering done as the screen is unbelievably easy to break and then you are screwed. (about $350 to buy a new clock from nissan) seriously thinking about doing it my self though. got the clock out about 10 minutes ago and looking at it now. don't think i'll risk it though , i'll be good.

if you live near flagstaff hill sa i'll help you get the clock out. take me about 20 minutes to get it out and have all the dash back in for driving till you want the clock back in.
