in TRs without a clock is the wiring there or do i have to wire it up??
i got a clock from a TR today but i didnt see any wiring behind the blank off plate

I don't believe the wiring is there - I got an autoelec to do mine (but then I get pros to do all my work).

in 2nd gen models that didn't have a clock there is no wiring for the clock, the clock can be wired in fairly easily, just get the elec plug and a few inches of wire from the loom with the clock.
from memory there are 4 wires
constant 12v +
earth -
illumination +
illumination -

Just bought a Clock (http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28070&page=2) from TJ Sports for my TS, was planning on picking up the power from the cig lighter, but I'll be watching this post to see if other (better) ideas come up :)

pin 1 is constant 12v. feed from room lamp/ clock fuse. (red/black wire)
pin 2 is ignition 12v. feed from radio fuse. (blue wire)
pin 3 is dimmer wire. (green/white wire)
pin 4 is earth (black wire)

looks like i have to go back and get the plug and a bit of wire.
when i got the clock i was gunna grab the plug to but diddnt :nuts:

I think deleting the clock from the dash on the TS's (and late-model TR's?) and putting in a blanking plate was a very silly idea by Mitsubishi... it looks so nice, sort of old-fashioned but adds a touch of class too - definately one of the best features of the car's interior.

wire it up to ur radio, thats how the sparky did mine in my TS. Make sure you have the plug coz he reckons he couldn't buy one anywhere (so he says)

pin 1 is constant 12v. feed from room lamp/ clock fuse. (red/black wire)
pin 2 is ignition 12v. feed from radio fuse. (blue wire)
pin 3 is dimmer wire. (green/white wire)
pin 4 is earth (black wire)


on mine
pin#1 is red & black
pin#2 is green & white
pin#3 is black & yellow
pin#4 is black

and also there cant be one going to the room light fuse and one going to the radio because one needs to go to the dash lights and in guessing it would be the green and white wire.

does anyone know???

I did the same thing brought a clock from the wreckers thinking it would be like the sigma's where the full wiring harnes with all plugs for any add ons later would be there now i have to go back anf get the plug too.

:confused:

Same colour scheme I have Ducko & whould also like to find out for sure
According to the WorkShop manual for TR-TS Magna/KR-KS Verada (thanks again - you know who you are :) ), the circuit diagram says...

R-B (Red/Black) is a fusible link
G-W (Green/White) is dedicated fuse, then tail light relay
B-Y (Black/Yellow) - can't quite make out (guessing dimmer)
B (Black) is body earth


Top of the page also says '91-'94 models though, don't know if that makes a difference
It's on page 1164 if anyone else has it & wants to look

Now if you also have a look under the plug connector (back of clock), it has (left- right) C...I...I...E with a + & - under a respective I
One mate suggested the C stands for *Clock* & the E for earth, but then what do the 2 I's (+/-) represent :roll: lol
Was also told that the cars are fitted with all the same wiring harness on the production line, & then moved onto their respective branch to be turned into the Exec, Verada etc... kinda makes sense, but only new to Mitsi myself, so don't take it as gospel :)
Our Maggie will be @ rest from Tue to Fri, so I'll be having a go @ installing tomorrow, would be nice if there was an Auto Elec on board :)

Was also told that the cars are fitted with all the same wiring harness on the production line

If this is the case and very relaible then we should be able to find the connector's to just plug the clock into instead of cutting and splicing wires etc.

Could also explain why in the executive models they didn't connect the driver side foot courtise light but the cover for the light is there.

I need to have some fun at my fav wrecker in a few days. :P

when i get my clock ill be just soldiering my own wires onto the pins...easier than finding a plug and does the same job

Was in at a dealer's yesterday, and for the hell of it asked a price on a clock. The bloke said he thought he remembered them being expensive. Looked them up, guess how much?







$448!!!!!!! :shock: :nuts: :gtfo:

I'm picking one up next week for $25 from a wreckers.



Could also explain why in the executive models they didn't connect the driver side foot courtise light but the cover for the light is there.Driver's side or passenger? 'Cause my executive has the driver's side one, but noticed yesterday that there is a cover but no light system on the passenger side...

This is the case with Locally built Ford & Toyota dash looms but unfortunately not Mitsubishis.

The wiring looms used in 2nd gen GLX and Executive are missing a lot of the connectors that the higher series cars had. One of these differences is no clock plug on base model wiring looms.
There is actually 3 different wiring loom types fitted to local 2nd gens: verada/elite spec, SE spec and executive/GLX spec. Then there are differences between auto/manual, 4cyl,6cyl, cruise/no cruise, carb/EFI etc.
This of course doesn't include the export variations, I think there were probably a of total 6 or 7 different wiring loom types used in 2nd gens :nuts:
If you are determined to fit a dash clock on a standard wiring loom, you can but you have to remove the dash and replace the loom that runs from the fuse box connector panel across the top of the dash to the LH speaker and LH door, the clock plug is on this loom.

Ok guys I'm just about to tackle this clock wiring thing while I have my dash partly apart and will let you know how I have wired the clock up.

i just hooked it up to the batt power on my stereo and the clock light to the light in the cigarett lighter and it works fine.

Hmmm ok so you just wired up 3 wires and not all 4.

Ok clock is all wired up with using all four wires not just 3.

Pin #1 (Red/Black) is a fusible link ( Attached to Radio )
Pin #2 (Green/White) is dedicated fuse, then tail light relay ( Attached to Radio )
Pin #3 (Black/Yellow) - can't quite make out (guessing dimmer) ( Cigy Lighter Light )
Pin #4 (Black) is body earth ( Radio Bracket Earth Wire )

Now anyone wanting to know how to wire there clock knows exactly how to wire theres up. :D

Hi all, I went down to pick a part and I pulled out of a TR the clock and some other things, about the wiring. This is how I conected the clock,
1.the positive wire straight from the battery.
2.the clock's light I conected it to the radio.
3.the two negative I put them to the sashi.

Thanks TRELLAMENOS...

Go to the wreckers and take a pair of scissors with ya and snip off the wiring from the clock so you have the adaptor.
Thats what I did in the TS.

But yeah, best to get an auto electrician to do it for you too :)

hey guys i know this is old but i have recently got a clock and i need to wire it in, now i know it says how to it but im not sure exactly as ive never wired up anything on a car and only ever used a soldering iron on very basic electronics, it says here:

Ok clock is all wired up with using all four wires not just 3.

Pin #4 (Black) is body earth ( Radio Bracket Earth Wire )

now that may be all well and good to those who know what it means but what exactly do i have to do to wire it in,

where exactly do i connect pin 1 and 2 to the back of the radio, im guessing that i just have to splice into the power cable somewhere for one of them but im not sure,

i think i'll be right with 3 and 4, basically splice into the light ring around the ciggy lighter for 3 and attach number 4 to the stereo's earth, its just 1 and 2 im unsure of.

come on guys someone can tell me what ive gotta go, [TUFFTR] youve done it how did you do yours??????

Can't remember exactly which pins were which. If you look closely, I believe it has markings telling you, something like I+, I-, C+, C-, for illumination and clock. Clock needs constant power, I tapped mine from my stereo, same as the accessories power for illumination:
12v constant power: Red-Green (stereo)
12v acc: Blue-Red (stereo)

Don't know why the two negatives are separate. I kept them as two wires, but ended up just earthing them at the same point, the earth at the stereo chassis.

Quick tip, if you want to mess around testing power, a quick easy source is any spare molex connector in your computer, eg., harddrive/cd power. Of course, if you don't know what you are doing you could blow your power supply or worse, but that's my quick'n'easy method of testing low power 12V stuff.

come on guys someone can tell me what ive gotta go, [TUFFTR] youve done it how did you do yours??????

i havent done it....Ive just got a fewlol

I just installed one in my TR exec, and it was simply a matter of picking up the red/green from the back of the stereo for constant power to pin 1 (C) of the clock, the green/white from the ciggy lighter illumination went to pin 2 (I+) for night viewing and the two remaining wires, are earth wires, pin3 (I-) is the earth return for the light and pin 4 (E) is the earth return for the clock itself, both went to the black/yellow also on the ciggy lighter light.
Hope this helps.

This dash clock you boys are talking about...
In what cars does it come standard?
It's the white analouge one right?

Not sure of the exact models it came in, I think most models above exec? Can be hard to find at wreckers, maybe 1 in 4 at my local wreckers had them (they have quite a good range), and most of those are quickly gone.

Yep, white(ish) analogue. You can of course throw in different light colours; mine are red, though sometimes the colour is overwhelmed by ambient light, so I'm going to try to boost the brightness.

thanks orac thats exactly what i needed it in laymans terms i never done any auto electrical so the instructions ive seen have been confusing

Not sure of the exact models it came in, I think most models above exec?

Wow i always thought it was pretty cool to have, i have a

what takes it's place in the lower models?

My TR wagon had no wiring so wired it to the radio. the 'I' stands for illumination. The lights in the clock are fairly dim so a stronger light would be good. Also the wreckers think it is a big job to get the clock out. just get a flat blade screwdriver on each side of the clock and pull. It pops out in 2 seconds.

Of course, if you don't know what you are doing you could blow your power supply or worse, but that's my quick'n'easy method of testing low power 12V stuff.One negative is for the clock and the other is or the dimmer. If you connect them together you will have full bright all the time. Mitsu did a rotten trick and used the positive as the common and negative as the control in a lot of the circuitry. Rewiring the headlights with relays was a nightmare, and I'm an electronics tech.

One negative is for the clock and the other is or the dimmer. If you connect them together you will have full bright all the time.So the clock is supposed to dim along with the rest of the lights?
I wired mine together, so it must be on "full bright", but it actually isn't bright enough for me in many cases. Maybe if I ever get my LED replacements sorted out I may need to rewire it so it dims inline with the rest.

I generally run my LED dash on about 1/2 - 2/3 brightness, which makes the central console a bit too dark. But LED replacements for the lights used through the console don't seem to exist, or if they do, I have no idea what the code is, despite searching through numerous listings of vehicle interior lights.

where are you fitting this clock because my tr does not have a spot to fit it but if i could i would so if any one knows where to fit it. thanks :cool:

To illustrate, here's my clock fited, and see a few posts back to see where it wasn't!:D

R-B (Red/Black) constant power. Connect to your HU constant power.
G-W (Green/White) illumination. Connect to green and white cigarette light wire.
B-Y (Black/Yellow) - earth for light. Connect to earth (black) on the cigarette light wire.
B (Black) earth for clock. Connect to the black and yellow wire which is screwed to the dash.


and just a heads up....you dont need to buy a new aircon vent to install a clock. the piece of plastic on the vent pops out and the clock will screw to that. i bought a new one from an elite....what a waste of $10 lol
just make sure you get the 2 spring clips with the clock and the loom otherwise fitting will be very very hard lol


there is no dimmer on the clock when wired this way. dimming might be available if the light wire is tapped into something that dims.

Hi all. I have found this to be a great thread and very helpful. Just wondering, I have a plan standard hu and it has 2 red power wires in the back. Does it matter which one I tape into? Thanks

Don't remember the wiring colours at the moment, but I think you'll find one is constant power, one is acc power. You want to tap into constant power for the main clock, so that it keeps ticking over all the time. For illumination, tap into something that turns on when your lights are on, like the green&white wire of the cigarette lighter as SlyTS said. I think mine is just hooked to accessories, obviously I didn't plan it out too well, didn't even notice or think about it. I guess I never have just the acc on at night without lights to notice that the clock light was on...

I did my the way Slyts6 did his ( + wire goes the memory wire on the HU) and thats the only correct way to do it and it should only take less than half an hour to fit the clock and wire it up.You can use small spade connectors if you don't have the plug that goes into the clock.
I even put 1 of these clocks in my NH Pajero!

I connected (+) power to radio and collected (-) power from cigarette lighter. for illumination, i took it from the small light in the centre armrest glovebox. was easy as, took me easily less than 20mins.

I can't get over how really easy it was. Just think I was going to pay someone to do it. What a waste that would of been. Took more time removing the counsol then actually wiring.

Thanks heaps everyone

And if anyone is interested.
Wires are the same for the digital dash clock too.

The analogue clock does not dim with lights, the light only comes on with the dash lights. You use the memory wire, the earth and the lighing wires from the radio.

As for pulling the whole loom out, well if you want to go that way go for it or be sensible and get the section from a wreck and splice it in. Done properly you will hardly tell even when the facia is off.

Remember there are 3 different plug configs, make sure you get the correct one

Er so you dont use the ciggie lighter wire?

Confused i am now

eeeer no..... because the ciggie lighter is only powered with accessories on. So you'd have to reset your clock every time you start the car.

Maybe he means the ciggy lighter illumination light wire... That's what I use.

Constant power is run from the same wire my head unit is run from.

Sorry. I missed the word "Illumination" thats what i meant though. not actually getting power from there!

Well i wired it in etc but its not working.

This is for the digital Dash clock mind you not the analog one.
The wires on the loom i had were from an analog one so i just used that loom...

anyone have a clue if the looms from digital to analog ones are different?

I always test things with a known power supply outside of the car before trying to install them, just to make sure they actually work, and to get a clue of which wires do what. Got a 12V power supply somewhere? If not, for small things like a clock I sometimes use my PC power supply.
Then you at least know that the thing does work, and that it's a problem with the way it's wired up.

Ill fiddle around with the wires on thursday, didnt think anyone would know anyway :)

Just picked one of these little beauties up for $5 with the connector and about 4' of wiring!!

Wooot!

Looks better than the blank plate the usually resides in the middle of the vents.

Even if i dont hook it up:bowrofl:

Twas the anologue:D

i agree that the creame/white background doesn't suit thr interior...:doubt:

what models came with a digital one? i have an SE so the analogue came standard, has anyone got a pic of the digital one? i dont like using analogue clocks so i might try switch to digital...

good point! im thinking of gettin one of these clocks... ive got a cheap digital clock stuck to the plate, looks well dodgy!! I cringe everytime i check the time lol but surely the clock can come apart? i think ill paint up the face aswell as pop some diff colored lights in it... maybe a nice beach scene pic on the face even... :cool: from dodgy to tacky... better get the hip shaking elvis out of the draw!

You guys fail the cream marbley clock looks amazing. One of my mates says thats the only good thing in my car.
Out of nowhere he noticed it.

Yeah my mate hopped into my car yesterday and it was the fist thing he noticed... He's like "I never noticed that before".... i said "i put it in today" He's like thats sweet!lol

+1 to that.

EVERYONE notices the clock, it's the first thing people comment on when they sat in it. "Oh dude that clock is classy!" I mean, they never commented on the power windows, or the KJ seats... Makes the car look pimp inside :shock: :redface: :drool:

I'm the same. My girlfirend doesn't understand why I'm doing all these mods to my car but the analogue clock is the one thing that I actually got compliment for, and that's a BIG thing. It's a great cheap mod if anyone can find a clock, should be plenty of analogues around.

Weird same goes here, Wow nice clock. Dont mind the leather or the dash rings or the sunglasses holder or anything, no just the $5 clock.

']Weird same goes here, Wow nice clock. Dont mind the leather or the dash rings or the sunglasses holder or anything, no just the $5 clock.
My clocks were free.

my clock was free by accident!
i went to the wreckers to get a TS center console, a clock and some other miscellaneous bits and pieces like a year ago, and i put the clock in the center console with the lid shut cause i couldnt carry everything i had, and when i went to pay i forgot about the clock..

weee accidental stealing lol

...still havent installed it yet. im so lazy haha.

I'll keep an eye out for one at the wreckers. I liked the look of a digital one better and even considered making my own, but the analog will do and definitely looks better than that old piece of plastic.

Just need to work out how to get it out of the dash (and back in again). :confused:

It just pops out bud... get a srcewdriver from the right hand side in the middle.. and just pry it out.
No clips to break just sorta wedges in.

The vents dont come out. just the centre plate...

Ah, cheers. :)

Thought it was more involved, tried to get one out of a wreckers car and couldn't. They'd run a speed limit alarm in behind that piece and it wouldn't budge, probably glued it in or something.

Just an update, got a clock from the wreckers for free (they threw it in after I spent $50 on tail lights) and fitted it today. Looks schmick, very classy. :)

It was easy eh.....:D

And yeah brings some class to exec interior too...lol

Yeah, really makes it look classy, such a small job but such a big improvement.

When I opened up the dash to feed the wiring in it was a total mess, so I haven't hooked up the illumination wire yet and at this very moment i'm completely rewiring the stereo, clock and door lights. Fun. :doubt:

EDIT: Done and dusted, all working. Ran the illumination off the cigarette lighter and power off the head unit. While I was at it I rewired all the door lights to switch on and off automatically depending on whether the door's open or not, but that's another story. :)

By far one of the best and simplest interior mods you can do. Especially at night when it illuminates.

Wow thread revival!!!

haven't read the whole thread but thought I might add I've got White LED's for the clock globes and it looks 100x nicer :-)

wow that was a quick responce and thanx lots...wont have any trouble wiring up ..just needed kick start...lol

Sorry for the thread revival, but I got really lucky in my '95 TS exec wagon... the loom/plug was already on there!! and I was prepared for 1-2 hours work :\
looks awesome.

you must of had an elite/verada spec loom. Cause none of the exec's Ive seen have that wiring. Someone could of already replaced the dash before and not liked the clock, keeping the blanking plate on.

yeah, probably.
Dont really mind anyway :P
clock is awesome.

Wouldn't have taken you 1 -2 hours anyway, i did this recently and probably took half hour max.

Just to help people doing this and not wanting the trawl through this thread for the wiring instructions i did the following:

Red/Blue wire - for constant power so i wired it into my headunit power
Green/White - for illumination so i wired it into the positive for the cig lighter globe
Black Yellow - ground for illumination so i wired it into the ground for the cig lighter globe
Black - ground for power so wired it into my stereo ground

any trouble running the wires down the back of the dash?

Mine was an exec and it already had the loom in there so I dunno, I reckon the might've had them in all of the TS's.

It took a few trys but I got down ok, you can wedge your hand up inside the dash a bit. Well worth the efford. I know the tr didn't have the wiring plug there in the hole.

nope my TS wagon was bare... (exec 1995)

95 ts sedan exec, no plug here

No plugs in either of my TS execs, both now have clocks wired to the radio constant power and earth, didn't bother about the illumination as both cars have CD players with clocks in them for night driving lol

wuurrrrddd is the word, pass it on!

If anyone wants to know how to wire in a digital clock send me a PM.

That's really odd because mine's a 94 TS exec wagon. Sounds like you've just gotta have a look and hope you got lucky.

Only ones here which got a Digital clock were the KS verada touring wagons and there are approx only 400 of them made. none were put in USDM cars, you will only find them in JDM and NZDM spec Diamante's and sigma's

I would like to see a photo of a digital clock if looks good I will try to track down one :D

nope my TS wagon was bare... (exec 1995)
Ditto.

yeah, must have been the month they are made or something?

I know this is an old topic and don’t want to repeat everything that has already been posted.

This is just a little tip to anyone wanting to get an analogue clock to dim with the instrument panel lights.

If you are looking for a Black/Yellow wire for the I- to tap into there is one on the back of the demister switch. The I+ (Green/White) can also be found here.

That is a very good tip, I never though of looking at those swicthes :doh: But my digtal clock doesn't dim via the dashlight pot. Yep finally found one, but been this has been disscuse else where lol

Sorry for dragging this thread up but I'm also looking to get this clock installed. Its giving me the shits having to use my HU's clock.

So Lots of people have given wiring instructions but do you need to disconnect the battery first before you do all this splicing? I'm afraid of shorting something out and frying my electrics...

You literally just cut into the existing coloured wire, twist the cables together then wrap in leccys tape?

Sorry for the n00b questions but I dont know my arse from my elbow with car electrics...

EDIT - I cant seem to find a clock at any of my local wreckers - has anyone got one to sell??

Where in wa are you? I may be able to find some time to install a clock for you if you wanted (If you find one, ive been looking for one for a few weeks now)

Disconnect the battery is a must plus just twisting the wires together is a bad idea they need to be crimp or solder together.

I'm in Perth, Vic Park area. You done lots of car electrics? I'm sure its not a big job for someone who knows what they're doing...

I have no issues in carrying out the work, but just need the process putting in laymans terms as I've never done car electrics before - eg do black cables on the clock connect to black cables on stereo/ciggy lighter? etc etc

I wasnt sure if the battery had to be disconnected or not. Thanks Sparky :)

I'm struggling in finding a clock, I have called every magna wrecker I can find in Perth.

Yea man Im almost a fully qualified auto electrician and I have no social life haha

Sweet as mate, I'll drop you a PM - first I need to find a frickin clock!

No problems

According to the service manual, it hooks up to the radio circuit.

Light, Acc, constant power lives there, so it fairly easy job :D

Does anyone know what model the clocks originally came with? TS?

KR-KS Verada, TS-TR SE variant, and TR Elite for the analogue clock. The digital clock came in either the diamante or the KS touring verada wagon :)
