coolwind57 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 The clock I installed a couple of years ago began to lose some parts of it's digits a few Months ago. Now I'm blowing the fuse, which also kills my interior lights. So, who's got a good-working dash clock they'd be willing to sell me? There's a couple on Ebay, but I'd prefer to buy from one of you guys.
500 MJ Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Do you have a part number on your old one? I know that these changed every other year or so...
coolwind57 Posted February 21, 2021 Author Posted February 21, 2021 No I wasn't going to bother pulling it to get the part number. I'd like the ones with blue connectors if I get a choice. I'll re-pin any connector that doesn't fit my current harness. So allow me to revise my question: Anyone have a dash clock with a blue connector that they'd sell me?
eaglescout526 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Problem is is the blue connectors are the early ones. Those use those connectors similar to the headlight harness and 84-86 AC control deck harness. 87-90 use the metri pack connector and those use smaller pins than the blue connector. You want a quartz one huh?

This site has all the wiring details: http://gojeep.willyshotrod.com/HowtoDashClock.htm I'm fine with rewiring in a molex connector set if needed. I trip over these connectors at my aviation school.
eaglescout526 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 I actually just happen to have the clock you are after. I was gonna use it as a joke wall clock somewhere.

eaglescout526 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 I havent figured out how I am gonna do it anyways. Lol. Shooting you a PM.
Minuit Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 You can get a VFD clock in the 87-90 connector style as well. I don't have an extra one, but they definitely exist.

TheDude Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 I have a box of dash clocks in the basement if you're still looking.

VFD - I personally pulled this clock from a completely unmolested '87: LCD - The gojeep site says this is a 1990 clock, but I personally pulled this out of an '88 MJ: There was as far as I can tell a different clock every model year, as well as three different connector types. The ones with the bulbs in them are pretty much trash in my opinion.
