Clock wires

Hi all,just got my time clock back from the menders,which wires do I use to connect to the positive and negative from the dashboard can I use the wire live from the cigarette lighter,I tried that and it only works for a couple of mins ?? thanks in advance John

 

You need a permanent live, is the lighter live when the ignition is off?

 

Indeed, when I got my camper the clock had been wired so it only ran when the ignition was on. Not very useful.

 

Could I spur off the radio live wire as that is permanent live .Radio will work with ignition on or off

 

Not

Sure as I'm at work now

 

Not

Not sure

 

Hey John, where did you send it off for repair? mines busted and I would like to get it going again. Thanks

 

Hi Jewelers in Gloucester. Browns St Johns lane Glos hope this helps,you may want to try a jewlery shop near you

 

clock now working wired up to radio live wire. thanks all

 

Is it a VDO quartz jobbie or a real Kienzle electric clock (that I assume John's was).

 

Got a picture of the back of yours ? I can fix the early ones

 

The real deal Snotty

 

When I get a mo I'll post a pic, thanks.

 

I too would like to get mine working how much did you pay? Thanks

 

Yes mine was also kienzle

 

I paid £50 .I got one from jk for £55 and it was pants so sent it back,I looked at it this way,that's £55 towards getting it fixed and looks a lot nicer

 

Ok cool I'm going to get mine fixed then, "genuine kienzle" is that stock US?

 

No, it's German

 

Confused so not stock then?
