Anyone able to fix or troubleshoot the clock in an original tic toc tac setup? Mine has not been working for some time. When I try to adjust to current time , it ticks for 10-15 seconds and stops. Any help?

When I try to adjust to current time , it ticks for 10-15 seconds and stops. Any help? donscamaro Apr 12th, 06, 08:58 PM I was having the same problem with mine. The guy I bought the car from said it hadn't worked for at least 10 years. But after reading somewhere on this site i was able to fix it and it is working great. I have a 67 with the gauges on the console but i would assume that it would work with yours also. I took the backing off the clock and removed it from the outer metal casing. I then soaked it heavily with WD-40. I kept soaking it for 2 days. I then took my cordless drill and attached it to the pin that comes thru the front that is used to set the time. I spun it slowly for about 3 or 4 minutes. I then hooked the clock up to a car battery and let it run for a couple days. Each day i would soak it with wd40 a couple times. I put it back together and it has been running great for about a couple months now. Good luck, I hope this works for you also. 67 RSS Apr 12th, 06, 10:51 PM I would find an automotive clock repair and have him look at it. My console 67 had same problem..worn jewel bearings as I recall. The clocks have a winder motor energized by a set of contacts to the 12VDC. They run until they need (automatic)wound again. IF they dont run its likely friction due to wear and debris as posted above. They are fragile- I elected to search out a local repair shop so I didnt dork it up myself. deamar Apr 13th, 06, 10:44 PM Thanks Don. We share good company in models!
