I just realized that my digital clock is not working.. no readout as if it is not even on. Fix?

 

mine is broke and will work some times only for a few mins you can buy a new one but there not cheap

 

yeap, the easiest fix is to replace it. As Elton have said, they run about $50-60 on eBay.

 

check the plug?

 

heres a funny thing, when i installed me headunit, i pulled the trim, disconnecting all the plugs, got it done, put trim and plugs back, clock was dead, turns out there is a place to stick a plug, that isnt a plug, just a dead end holder type thing as if you didnt get the clock as a feature or something.... anyway, i had it stuck there, and just needed to re attach it to the right spot...

you havent had yours apart have you?

 

Yeah, I dunno how many times I had a Runner/Taco come back into the Install Bay because of that!! Most people just throw on the plugs, and send it out the door.

 

I have had this problem since I bought my truck, though it does come on every once in a while. I checked at the dealer and they wanted 270 plus tax. I might check ebay though it doesn't bother me that much.

 

Hey, I had this same problem, when I bought my 99 4runner this past June, and was almost willing to spend over $200 for a new one. I took the dash apart, and it it turned out to be a few places where the solder joints cracked.

Simple and free fix if you have a soldering iron and solder.

 

Mines broken because the previous owner spilled a drink on it, he missed the cup holder...

They want over $200 for those clocks!? Ek...

 

I use my radio clock as mine is dead. I will be yanking the clock and using that spot for a RAM mount for GPS, etc.

Mine has also been dead since i got my truck. I have checked the plug on the back. nothing. looking closer at the clock it looks like their is a black spot behind the lens of the clock. I would like it to work. but not willing to dump a lot of cash on just a clock. atleast my mazda's clock had the date too.

 

Clock has stopped working in 99 4Runner. Dealer wants $400+ to replace. Has anyone found a stick-on digital clock that will fit in the recessed area over the existing clock display? Cheers...rmr

another zombie thread....Seriously

 

Just bondo over it and paint it to match the dash.

 

Thanks for the intelligent and useful replies. Seriously? Is this how all new member's questions are treated? I did a search of the site and didn't find any answers to this question if posed previously. Am I missing something?
