i just bought a EX clock from the junkyard, for 10 bucks, from a 92-95 civic EX. i have a 94 DX, which as you may know, doesnt have the clock. so after takeing off the guage bezel, i plugged in the clock and turned on the car. nothing comes on..... then i press the cover in, and nothing happens. i think theres something wrong with my wiring. can anyone tell me what does those 4 wires do? i might just do the wiring all over myself the ghetto way. i know there has to be a ignition, a ground, and a positive, but i dont want to mess anything up. thanks and i guess everyone here loves that feeling of checking out the time .. never take if for granted.. LOL

maybe since there wasnt a clock in there to begin with there is No Fuse for the clock try looking at that

Could be the clock. :dunno: I bought mine from a local wrecking yard, and I plugged it in right then and there and it worked just fine.

well.. i know my ignition is pretty much fucted.... i have to run my deck straight to the battery and have a switch to turn it on and off. i think i'll just run my clock straight to the battery, but i dont know what the 4 wires are for, well i know the + and -, but not the other 2.

ok so far i found 4 wires, 1 red, 1 black, 1 yellow, and 1 white with a blue stripe. i tihnk the red one is +. black is -, yellow is ignition 12v and i dont know the white one. does anyone know what the blue one does?

blue possibly has to do with the dimmer circuit
