Electrical 86 mustang clock stays on

[Four Eyed Fox]

Like the title states, console clock stays on all of the time. Ran down a new battery in a couple of days and haven’t noticed anything else that would be drawing power when the ignition is off.

Check that the light on your vanity mirrors is going out.

Have you done any electrical work to it lately?

I’ve only had it for about a month. The only electrical work I’ve don’t to it was a 3g alternator conversion. The clock would always stay on before that though.
The wiring appears to be in good shape throughout the interior as well as under the hood.

Check to see what fuses are paired with the clock and see if there is a separate fuse for the clock light. Also check to see it your interior lights stay on when doors are closed. For some wiring diagrams check out veryuseful.com
can't remember how hard it is to pull the clock out, been too long. It may be malfunctioning on it own.

That’s what I was thinking. I don’t need the clock and “information center” that’s in the console. Ill look at some schematics and see if there is a larger issue. Thank you sir!

Another question: does the clock light adjust bright/dim with the interior light ajuster?
