Got a interior clock and need help wiring it in.

Thanks.

Page 46 of the 93 Pride Wiring Diagram has the answer you are searching for. You may also find some pictures of a digital clock install by using the search engine. Be sure to include double quotes around words that you want to keep together, such as "clock wiring" or "dash clock". If you omit the quoataion marks, the search engine will search for occurances of each word (not necessarily together).

awesome guys, just wish the has of cut the wires a little longer is all as this would have made it a lot easier to wire this in.

Thanks heaps so far and if there's anything else, let me know.

If you had some terminals from Eastern Beaver, you could have just put your own wiring in, or better yet, just pop out the terminals with a terminal removal tool and pop in some long wires from the junk yard, or even better, just go to the junk yard with a pair of snips and cut off a some long wires along with any Mazda 4 pin connector.

Or instead of dealing with this easternbeaver stuff you can just go to any hardware store/electrical store and find the female connector that fits snug. I got mine from Fastenal (where I work) they fit perfectly and make wiring much easier.

i'm actually thinking of making a board and running the wires to the board and making a shorter 4 pin cable to plug the clock into the board so i never really have to dig around and can just unplug the clock if it dies.

Don't make it so difficult, you can just unplug it at the back of the clock.

Ahhh yeah.. must have had a bran fart to think adding something not necessary would be a good idea..

If you've never soldered before, this would be a great time to start. Many places carry a 40 watt soldering iron that might come with a little bit of solder for around $10.

YouTube is invaluable for learning how to join wires or solder on connectors etc.

Also, I remember the dash clock I gave away at Ohiostiva had a pin out diagram on the back of the clock itself.
