Nah, do you mean the big and little hand spinning like you were changing the time? If so other than a stuck button god knows as never heard of this one.

Re: Clock Spinning

Did you ever find out what caused this?
My clock has just started  this morning - pulled fuse 25, which I think is the interior light & radio memory, so no big loss.

Re: Clock Spinning

I've got the van now - I had a good look through the connections and couldn't sort it. In the end I pulled the cluster face off the circuit board and bent one of the two contact pins away from the clock (after setting it to midnight).

I now use the 'space' in front of the clock for my phone holder (suckered on to the plastic directly in front of the clear screen)

Re: Clock Spinning

Sounds a better use of the space than standard to me.

Must admit, the space in front of all my clocks is like a glove box without a door.  It's just so handy.

Thanks for the reply.  I suspect that theres a bit of moisture under the push button adjuster. Maybe a spell with the dehumidifier will sort it out.
Seems that the fuse is for the horn also, so will need sorting.

Re: Clock Spinning

Looks like I've got this issue now. Any suggestions?

It's weird it stops when the ignition is on
