I found an archived article about clock repairs and it seems that the issue
I have is repairable, but I would like to try the repair without removing
the entire instrument panel. After attempting to set the digital clock it
has now adopted a mode which constantly cycles through the hours. For some
this may be trivial, but for me it is particularly annoying. I have read the
article, but I can't visualize the device and I can't seem to find an image
of the clock itself. I have a '91 Multivan. Has anyone got a decent picture
of the digital clock or some great advice on getting this fixed?

The original post that alluded to this problem is below...

Thanks,

"I finally found the time to check out the problem with the digital clock
constantly cycling the hours. I took out the dash to get at the clock, one
of the little target-like plastic pieces that you push against when you
adjust the clock had fallen down and gotten itself trapped under the
plunger. (The plunger actually does the electrical work that changes the
time.) I just re-aligned the little targets, and re-assembled the dash.
Everything works." Larry Carter
