Hello
I cant find this by searching so can some one tell me the correct way to connect this up as I cant tell which wire is live etc

[haydn callow]

Red/Yellow=Permanant live (clock)
Brown=Earth
The other wire=switched live(clock light)

[winchman]

Brown=Earth
The other wire=switched live(clock light)

Thanks

haydn also changes the bulb colour and the face plate colour if desired, dont you haydn.

[haydn callow]

all part of the service !!

Now for my next question how do I change it from orange to green?

[haydn callow]

This involves pulling the clock to bits....removing the orange filter and putting in a green LED (polarity sensitive)
Or send just the clock to me with £7.50 and I will do the job and post back.

I did find a BMW digital clock in the scrappy, but cant get it to light as its got 4 wires? Any ideas?

If its anything like the gauges i fitted? It will have two wires for the negative & positive of the actual clock.. Then the other two Positive to the dash light loom & the other to ground... Designed to back light with the dash when the sidelights come on...?

What are your clock four wire colours...?

Being an engineer I have broken far more expensive things than a BMW clock LOL
I did get two incase I had an accident.
The digital one I can get to light up but just displays zeros?

If you leave it on for just over a minute, does it say "00:01"?

Hey you had me thinking then LOL
No it dosnt and the buttons dont work either
Hang on a minute, its started its now on 00:01 no its 00:02.
So how do we explain that?

Hey Winchman, it wouldn't happen to have an exterior temp gauge on the readout too would it??

I got hold of something similar from a 626, but gutted it for a temp gauge for the coolant...
