Which fuse is responsible for clock on dashboard? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hello,

Can somebody help me and tell me which fuse I need to change to make clock on dashboard working again. It's not working last couple of days and manual does not specifically specify which fuse shall be changed.

The '99 wiring diagram shows that there are three power wires and one ground wire going to the clock. The relevant fuses are:
cig fuse
panel fuse
dome fuse

Check these fuses ... located in the fuse box that is behind the coin tray .... under left dash, left of the steering column.

Any problems .... check back on the forum.
Anything unusual happen lately? ... in an electrical sense?

There is no fuse box inside cabin. The only 3 fuseboxes are in engine comparment. According to manual fuse 14 (Dome 7.5 A) is responsible for clock and bunch of other things (like light, trunk light etc) all other things are working, the only thing which does not work is clock. Any ideas?

What is your vehicle ... specifically?

Dome is in engine compartment.

Other two are behind the finish panel ... left of steering column ... as I recall.

if all fuses are good, then maybe the clock wires plug got disconnected? or clock went bad?

There is another fuse box ... inside the cabin.
I think you have to remove the coin tray to get to it .... left of steering column.

^+1, you need to remove (it unclips) the coin tray, just pull it up and wiggle it out, there are fuses behind it.

The wiring diagram shows a red wire going to the clock .... maybe it is the main power wire. If you could get to it, you could check to see if it has 12V.

The main problem is getting to it ... or removing the clock ... without damaging anything.

The WD also shows a junction connector somewhere around the right side of the center panel ... close to the radio or A/C control. Maybe it is not making a good connection. I am guessing that you would have to take out the glove box to get a look at it.

That's was it. It was there like you said and one of the fuses (Cigarete ligher) blow out, fuse replaced, clock is working. Problem solved, thanks.
