So... Why all the empty-space inside my clock? Am I missing an option? :confused:

That is all there is. Deceptive isn't it?

The circuitry you can see there is most likely the power supply for the vacuum fluorescent display. The actual clock circuitry is almost certainly a bare-wafer chip in a black blob somewhere, probably on the back of the circuit board, if not part of the VFD itself. Think of a digital watch.

Even more unexplainable... If you don't have the clock, its just a black plastic panel. :banghead: :crazy:

Now this will get you going. I had an 85 with all those functions except the axle and brake pad sensors. They were on the left side where the 4WD light is

Are you guys familiar with security camera DVRs? You hook your security cameras to it and it records all the video...
