I have a digital clock that i took out of my '90 acura ledgend. I want to install it in my truck because it doesnt have a clock in it. The problem is, i cant get the clock to work! It has 4 wires coming out the back of it: White-yellow, yellow, Red-black, and Black. I realize that some of these wires dim the clock when the dash dim knob is turned. I dont care about the diming at all, i just want to know how to get this thing to turn on. I plan on hooking it so its only on when the car is on. Also, it has a button, that when pushed when the car is off, the clock would lite up until the button was released. I would like to have that function work if possible.

The wire colors are the same as the power antenna for the Honda/Acura's. I will look into this for you later today.

Hey Ben,

Here's what you need:

Black = ground

WHITE/ Blue = Battery + unswitched

Yellow = ignition

RED / Black = panel lights +

........now you`ll never be late for work again!
