Closed inspection found a tiny burnt spot on the foil of the clock's lead, right at the connection area. Checked continuity and the tester did not make a sound. So, I scracthed the foil a little to be able to drop a spot of solder on it and made a bridge with three strands of wire to the other good side. It worked of course. Thanks to the fast responses to the interested men. Good thing, I was looking at it through magnifying glass. This was an easy fix, though I was clueless if it was some kind of resistor fault on the foil. Zoltan

I hate to ask, but your VOM is set to the correct range? Hard to imagine seeing 15 VDC however. My analogue clock is supplied by B+ (no voltage regulator involved) so voltage at clock should be the same or close to voltage at battery. Check what voltage you see at the + connection of the 14 pt connector to cluster. If you see battery voltage there, then maybe it's a ground issue? Neil.
