Hey guys, i have a 1970 chevelle ss and the clock doesnt work. Ive checked the fuses but the clock still dont work. can someone please tell me the troubleshooting steps to find whats wrong. and if it is the clock where can i send it to be repaired. Thank you for any help i can get

I took mine to a good old fashioned clock shop yesterday. It will be repaired to original "sweep" hand operation and go hand-in-hand with my sweep speedo dash.

I will let you know costs, etc. when I get it back.

This may be why. A 70 Vell clock has a motor that winds the spring like an old style clock. When the spring un-winds the motor winds it again. One of the problems with clocks that fail is, If the clock has 9-12 volts the spring winding motor runs fine, HOWEVER, If at sometime the batt. gets low, The points that close, to power the spring motor will stay CLOSED.
So the motor will " Cook " Or it could be just worn out. I believe the clocks in our Chevelles were not designed to operate for 35-40 years. I had my clock rebuilt to factory org. It worked for a while then quit. If and when it comes out again it will be rebuilt with the Quartz style movement.

A quick dis-connect at the Batt. may help in the future.

thank you robin ls5,now i just have to find a place to ship it too

People who know old cars know that the clock either should not work at all or be wildly inaccurate... ;)

It is noce to see one that works once in a while though...

Hey BTW: I did get my clock back and it runs as original. Only $75.

if you clean the points that Bob mentioned the clock will usually start working.
