Well I made a pretty big mistake earlier. I wanted to get rid of the dimming effect when you turn on your gauge lights and such. So I search and read and one of the threads said to cut the red/black wire.

So I went outside and took out my clock, and snipped the black wire with scissors. Then I plug the clock back in and started up the car but the clock stopped working...

So I went back in the house and read the thread over, and all adds up and then I soon noticed, that it was a honda civic thread

So now my black wire is snipped and my clock doesn't work. I tried electric tape...but that didn't work so does anyone have any other suggestions? Or do I just have to replace the wiring for the clock? Or do I snip the red wire and it magically works as well, haha?

Any input is appreciate!!

 

The red/black wire is the power wire for the clock. It's also a fused wire. Check your fuse box for a burnt fuse.

 

I doubt it's the fuse...
I turned it on to look at the clock. Then I turned it off and pulled out the clock to cut the BLACK wire. I then...thought about cutting the red wire as well but I thought I would just try it out to see what happened so far. Then when I plugged it back in, the clock did not work anymore.

But it was working like...30 seconds before. then once I cut the wire it didn't work so I raelly doubt it's the fuse?

 

Then you cut the ground wire.

 

Is there anyway...to fix it? haha. Or do I just have to like replace the wire?

 

Reconnect the wire

 

reconnect...? I cut it man. Haha. I took a pair of scissors, and snipped it. I tried taping it with electric tape but didn't work.

 

Strip some insulation off each side, twist the wires together, tape with electrical tape.

 

Oh yeah, how come I didn't think about that
Okay now since that's solved, you wouldn't mind knowing how to bypass the dimming thing do you?

 

I believe you do cut the red wire. How many wires are there for the clock? You don't want to cut the memory wire either.

 

Okay I'll try this tomorrow morning. I will get back to you blueintegraboy.
thanks for all this so far
