RedRider3141 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 First off I have to admit I can't take credit for figuring this out, I got the idea here: Nissan Forums from TuffguyF4i. So here's to you TuffguyF4i It was just as easy as he said. I took out the clock and removed the back cover to expose the circuit board. It took a bit to recognize the crack in the Solder but a quick check with a continuity meter confirmed I had found a break. Lucky for me there was only one. I heated up my soldering iron added a bit of fresh solder and put it all back together and BINGO! Dash Clock. Here is the Board: I found my R6 was cracked, photo didn't turn out great, but it wasn't much of a crack to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 My clock tends to run a little fast. It seems to gain a minute every few weeks or so. I know solder won't fix it, but has anyone else noticed that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northernpathy Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 My clock tends to run a little fast. It seems to gain a minute every few weeks or so. I know solder won't fix it, but has anyone else noticed that? Same here. After 2 months I have to reset it back 2-3mins. Which is pretty sad, as the clock in the instrument cluster on my 1988 Hardbody keeps perfect time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know solder won't fix it, but has anyone else noticed that? I cant answer that one...my clock hasnt worked long enough for me to tell...one or two days in a row at the most...and it hasnt worked at all for a couple months.

nunya Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 My clock tends to run a little fast. It seems to gain a minute every few weeks or so. I know solder won't fix it, but has anyone else noticed that? My dash clock normally sais it's 71:E9 or some wHierd crap so I couldn't tell ya.... I solved it by finally setting the clock in my aftermarket head unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 My clock didn't light up until I tapped on it when I started the car earlier. I will have to disassemble the clock to examine the solder joints soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
