Has anyone replaced a clock in a 2000 ES300? where do i start?

 

Hello,

First and foremost, are you entirely sure that the clock has to be replaced? More often times than not the clock fuse is blown and therefore all one would have to do is replace this fuse in order to get the clock to work again. There is a blue 15 amp fuse on the bottom right corner of the fuse box- this is the fuse that needs to be replaced to fix this problem. It is in the fuse box that is inside the dashboard behind the coin holder.

Try replacing the aforementioned fuse first before replacing the clock and if your clock still doesn't work properly then I may be able to further assist you

 

I have a 99" checked the fuse is fine. Next steps to troubleshoot?

 

Hello,

Which fuse did you check?

It's a bit of weird setup on those cars, since the fuse for the clock is a 15A CIG fuse, the same one that is used for the front cigarette lighter, I had to take part of the interior out to work that out.. If the fuse is good, check that the voltage is coming to the clock, if so, the clock needs to be replaced, since it's a standalone system with no other connections that could potentially hinder it in any way.

P.S. That same CIG fuse is also responsible for a key lock solenoid by the way, so if you need to have a shifter in a gear other than Park and a key out of the ignition, you can simply pull that fuse out, deactivating that solenoid.

Hope this helps and best of luck!
