Analogue clock gon mad!

hirtag1 · 2024-09-22 15:23:23

I have an analogue clock on the dash and its gone mad as its just spinning round and round all the time. Its doing what it does if you press the button to correct the time. Taken the dash out to see if I can sort but the button is part of the printed circuit. Anyone got a spare one for sale? Van is a Citroen Dispatch 1.9 td 1998 Would put a pic on here but cant see how to do it?

Mine used to do that whenever it got cold and/or damp - assumedly condensation/corrosion bridging a connection

Eventually it just stopped working all together. So yay?

I'd check the black plunger has free movement first to ensure it hasn't jammed down
if not, I'd whip the PCB out and check across the switch contacts to see if it's stuck in the closed/ON position.
If so, switch cleaner may help or desolder it and solder in another PCB momentary switch.
If the switch is open and the hands still rotate, then the fault lies in the clock circuitry
this may or may not be easily fixable

A pic of the PCB would help
