Yep, did all that, checked voltages, poked and prodded, got bored, gave up, Velcro'd CVS clock to dash. I have a lead on a spare working one nearby and will pick it up tomorrow. Fingers crossed, I'll have a fully-functional dash! Except for the dash light dimmer which I fried in a wonderful cross-wiring mishap. Haven't found a situation where dimming the dash lights was needed, anyway, so I wired the thing full-on. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
