my clock mysteriously just stopped going. its not even on... do you think i blew a fuse?

i checked my fuse box, and i cant find the one for the clock...

help

 

anyone?

 

I guess you would need to pull it from the dash and verify it was getting voltage if all the fuses are good and if voltage is present and not working then I would say its time to replace that booger

 

I have an extra I'll sell you cheap if it's broken

 

does your cigarette lighter work? they're on the same circuit. the fuse is in the driver's kick panel. if the lighter works the clock is either unplugged or broken.

 

Yeah have you been messing around in your dash (hiding money in the dash are you ) , maybe its just pulled loose

 

well heres the thing... my friend put some mp3 thing in my cig lighter, and i think that broke it..

nothing will fit in there anymore..

this was the same time my clock went out, so im guessing the whole thing is garbage... this makes me really mad..

what can i do about my lighter? i dont smoke but i have lots of stuff that i put in there like my phone charger

 

If the lighter doesn't work and went out the same time as the clock then your fuse is blown , if there is something stuck in the cigarette lighter you should remove it , you can get several diff. styles and replace the whole unit , its very easy .
Ck your fuse again , I beleive its a 20A for the lighter circuit .
On mine the radio would not be working either if that fuse was blown .

 

Make sure he didn't jam up something in the lighter. A chunk of metal may have come loose and caused it to short out.

 

And the fuse will be blown Muhahahahahahahahhahahaha

 

Well that's a given. But then putting in a new fuse will just casue it to pop again.

 

well from what i can see, i put my finger in there today, and it looks like there is a couple of metal prongs bent and broken...

im going to have to replace the damn thing..

n4ynu1010 i know where the driver panel thing is.. but i cant find the one to the clock the fuse, which one is it?

should i replace the radio one and see if that works?

 

You realize that I know that right hehe
I'm not that old school

 

It may say ACC or even Lighter , you have a Clock so dont rule out Clock , mine says ACC for that fuse , Its a 20Amp fuse , use a flashlight and you can sometimes tell if they are blown , I usually pull them out one at a time to check and look at the side with light or daylight and its easy to see if blown.

If you see a bent down piece of metal in the cigg lighter socket then I would not replace fuse or try to use , if you find the blown 20Amp fuse then reach behind lighter and pull off (slip on + wire conn.) positive wire , its connected to the center of the lighter housing behind it under the dash of course .
If you disconnect that positive wire then replace the fuse and your clock will work and when you put the new one in just plug back up and your off

 

i will probably just buy a new outlet (or a used on from this used yotota place i found online)

do you think i can replace the outlet myself?

also, i just looked, and i found a little round light bulb looking fuse (sort of like the one that goes on the dome light but smaller) on my floor... hmmmm.

 

Yeah the lighter housing is easy to replace generally , if its above the ashtray then remove the ashtray and the ashtray bracket and take the old one out and put new one in , you can get a nice looking aftermarket one for cheap , if you want OEM I understand that .
But again if you disconnect the hot lead(+) from the back end of that lighter housing and replace the blown fuse and then you can have your clock back and replace the lighter at your convienence , either way but you could replace it - its not hard to do
