In a quite location, momentarily touch the negative wire to the frame of the clock. You should hear a snap when first connected. If not, you may have burned points inside the clock. _________________________ RAY Member Chat Group - Non-Geographical Region Chevradioman http://www.vccacolumbiariverregion.org/ If I had known that growing old would be this much fun---I'd have done it sooner!

When you plug in the clock wiring harness it should produce the snap and start working.) _________________________ RAY Member Chat Group - Non-Geographical Region Chevradioman http://www.vccacolumbiariverregion.org/ If I had known that growing old would be this much fun---I'd have done it sooner!
