Thread: Question on clock install instructions...

  1. #1

    Default Question on clock install instructions...

    I just obtained a clock from the yard. I've gone through the instructions many times, but I have one question. I've looked at the clock plug and the radio wires, and it seems like I don't have a white/green for the radio.
    What should I look for? I believe this is for the dimmer.

    Here is what the radio connector DOES have:
    orange/black
    black/green
    yellow/green
    blue/black
    black/green (again??)
    yellow/red
    white

    I have all the other clock wires figured out, I am just not sure where I get the dimmer wire from.
    Any hints, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

    I got it. I just ran my volt meter across the wires until I figured out what they were. White/green should be for the dimmer, but on mine it was blue/black. Just for future reference if anyone has one messed up like mine.
    Also, there were 2 ground colored wires, but only one was truly a ground.
    I got lucky, my clock had the PATs light in it, so I just used the existing PATs wiring for that, and it looks and works like a champ now.

    If you pulled that info from the how-to on the main page, you'd see the updated info that says how on 99-00 models, the wire color is different.

    The entire dimmer switch was redesigned in 99. It allows the interior lights to be turned on by clicking the switch all the way over.

    98.5 and lower only controlled dimming.
