Weird one this. I have taken the wooden fascia off and also removed the clock. I had it working fine but now, no power to the clock  , in fact the clock won't now work even when I connect it to a positive feed  I used a circuit tester that lights up when positive is found via a different source. Putting the clock aside all I can think of is the fuse but what one?? I have looked in the workshop manual/handbook but no luck. Any advice:?? PS. What bulb is required for the clock? |

I have this once - the purple clock feed goes into a bunch of bullet connectors stuffed into the nearside A panel near the top - in fact mine were direct line of where the screen had once leaked and there was corrosion on the bullets - just trace back to this. Its no problem to run a new feed back the the fuse box anyway.
As to your clock - there is no internal fuse so if it will not work direct wired then it needs attention sometims its just dirty points that just need cleaning - otherwise its part of the clockworks. These cloacks internals and even the same external were used on numerous cars right from early seixties to mid eighties - I picked a good one up for 50P at a steam rally.
The bulb is also a standard BA7 - these again were common. Are you sure its not a bad earth?

I will check the earth although I feel that is not the problem  and take on board you're recommendations. Thank you Phil for the bulb ref and advice. Update. The clock works fine but I will have to find the problem with the source that was working fine last week  for some reason the feed is dead. |

Having fun and games here. No horn now, no courtesy lights. It's something simple (i hope) but I can't find it  |

I would think all those items run through the same fuse.

Cheers Harvey, but would you know which one? It will save me popping them all out one by one, if I knew. |

I once had a fault on the purple wire which blew that fuse. I had a short where Phil said - behind the fabric panel on the LHS of the passenger footwell. Check there first.

I will check it out. The fuse is fine but I still have no horn   cigar lighter and courtesy lights. The clock wiring branches off into the main loom so I can't see where you actually mean |

It comes out again in the bunch of cables in the A panel - as all these battery accessories are out of order its very likely this is where the problem lies. Just follow the loom along the parcel shelf and into A panel and you will find them
