96-98 EK clock

[wazup_74]

So i just received my clock in the mail. I went out and tried wiring it but no luck. It has 4 wires:

White/Blue
Yellow
Red/Black
Black

Now i'm not sure if i did this correctly but this is what i did (spliced into radio harness):

White/Blue Stripe --- Yellow(battery)
Yellow --- Red(ignition)
Red/Black Stripe --- Orange(illumination)
Black --- Black(ground)

So after this still nothing. I'm not sure if maybe i didn't wire it correctly or if the clock itself doesn't work. Is there another place i can splice into, like some other harness? Help is greatly appreciated.

where'd you get your clocks? i search it and i get old threads im looking for one.
Black is ground Yellow is constant Red and black is for the light/dimer and the white and blue should hook up to the ingition switch, that is all i cn find as well on other old threads. tap into the radio harness you should be able to find it in there.

Ok so if tis the way you are saying it is then i got it wrong. Your saying:
White/Blue --- Ignition
Yellow --- Battery
Red/Black --- Dimmer
Black --- Ground

Hmmm...I'll try it out. Oh and which thread did you get it from? I only found 1 thread that had anything remotely usefull. If you have a link please post it. Thanks

Oh and i got my clock from ebay. VTi-ME is selling one that is amber. They go up for sale every once in a while here. The reason i got mine from ebay is cause i wanted one that lit up white and europe seems to have them more.

I posted a how to in an old thread on here before. It goes over the wiring.

Yeah what i used to wire it was the one you posted and it didn't work. Now i'm going to try to wire it how wetcmonkey says. But i want to see where he got that info from too.

Here is what i used:

So what exactly isn't working?

I have had mine wired like that for quite some time, plus others have wired theirs the same way.

well it wasn't turning on at all. I was starting to think that maybe i got a clock that doesn't work. But i went out and tried wiring it the other way and it works now.
So its now:
CLOCK --- FUNCTION(Radio Harness)

EDIT:In helping someone else i saw that my pigtail harness was probably moddified by someone as it used a different layout than what others have said. after a closer look it does seem to have been fixed from someone cutting the wires. i used this:
Black --- Ground (Black)
Red/Black --- Dimmer (Orange)
Yellow --- Constant/Battery (Yellow)
White/Blue --- Ignittion (Red)

but this is the correct way:
Black --- Ground (Black)
Red/Black --- Dimmer (Orange)
Yellow --- Ignittion (Red)
White/Blue --- Constant/Battery (Yellow)

So it turns out that i guess my clock came with weird wiring or something cuz i was helping someone get theirs installed and it wasn't the same as the wiring that i used. I'll edit my previous post for future reference.
