Icon3 Dash clock info/help needed!

I just installed a dash clock that I picked up in my eg hatch but after I get it installed and turn on the car the damn thing doesn't work! I've checked both under-hood and under-dash fuses and none are blown. I have one concern with the wiring for the clock; there are four pins on the plug that goes into the clock but only two wires that lead to the plug? (Yellow/red stripe and red/black stripe)

So my question is....Are there only supposed to be two wires for the clock plug? If so, what should he the next thing I check?

Thanks,



Josh

Find your radio harness. On the factory plug there is a white wire with a blue stripe. That's the constant 12v. Trace It back to behind the cluster. It should splice in. If your model came with a clock from the factory, it would have another wire coming off of it which leads to the clock harness plug. If it didn't, it might not have the other wire coming ff of it.

My hatch is a cx so no factory clock. If I find that white/blue wire, where should I splice it to to run power to the clock?

Umm, one of the pins on the harness? I'm not sure which one. You'll also need to run the ignition 12v so it will actually turn on and that's gonna be a different color. The constant is so it can keep time. The ign 12v is for the clock to actually come on.

The clock should have 4 wires:

Yel wire - main power for clock from fuse 15
Red/Blk wire - power from fuse 19 for back lighting
Wht/Blu wire - power from fuse 32 for clock memory of time
Blk wire - ground
