I take it you have an EK.. cuz my amber clock in my eg plugged right into the usdm harness in my dash.. jw

 

NOFX might know if there's a similar plug that will work from a USDM car.

Might as well update this in the event anyone else ever searches and finds it.

I'm not aware of any plug on a USDM vehicle that matches the plug on the European clock.

 

I also got my clock with no harness but you dont need it, just pop the back of the clock off so you can easily get to the four pins and just hook up 4 wires directly to the pins. I chose to solder mine because there wasn't enough room for connectors. Each pin is labeled.

 

yea i know my buddy did it but i hate rigging stuff

 

Check the plug that is used to connect the window switches on the driver side of the interior, I believe the plugs are the same for the switch as for the clock. Keep us updated.. if it is then you can go to a junkyard and cut it out of another civic...

 

good stuff man yes it works i happen to have 2 ek door harness and it plugs right up nice find bro

 

coupe door switch plugs are big...

The only style plug that MAY fit, is that for the dimmer. Its the same number of wires, but may require some trimming to get it to fit.

 

its a plug from the drivers side door harness. it works cause i have 2 at my house. now im not sure where the plug goes to on the door cause i havent got a chance to check but one of those plugs definitly works

 

I really hope there's another plug on the car that can be used besides that. It would suck for people to go around ruining full power door conversions just for one measly plug for a clock.

I think the focus should stay on making sure you get one when you order the clock.

Perhaps someone can find the same plug elsewhere.

 

I have a feeling this is the connector for the lock switch.

I agree: Lets not hack up door harnesses - there has to be something else....

 

It doesn't matter if you go to a junk yard and tear up a few plugs big deal, find me another solution that won't involve hacking some plug off of some electrical system that some pansy is gonna [freak]ing cry about, cause you won't..

Suck it up and be glad I found a solution for all the EDM clocks w/o piggytails...

I found a solution too.

I made sure mine came with a pigtail when I "bought" it.

There should also be other locations that plug is on the car besides power doors that are sought after. It just seems a shame to ruin $300 worth of parts.. because you want an orange clock.

Would you be against using a plug from another location?

 

No I'm just saying I'm pretty sure these plugs for the window buttons are the same through most honda/acura chassis, so I got a better deal on a clock that didn't have a piggy tail and I found a solution, its not like theres gonna be a edm clock craze and all the junkyard power window swaps are gonna be butchered.

 

i agree with both try and get the edm clock with a pig tail or if not try to solder the wires but if its a must you kno where to find it like i said good find memnoch
