wiring up Time clock help?
my classic has the cup holder in the centre console but i broken the bit that goes round the stereo so i got a new bit on ebay but this one has a time clock where the cup holder bit would have gone.
the thing is i dont have the part of the loom to power the clock so i need some help knowing what the wires on the clock do.
there are 4 wires coming out of it
red, black, yellow and blue
im assuming red is 12v and black is ground
and guessing yellow is ignition
but end got a clue about blue
i might have them all wrong just wondering if anyone else had wired in a clock without having the plug on the loom?

if blue is lights, then it would just be the dim part to the clock?
it has a button on the clock for dim anyway so might leave that one off

One may be for lighting, one for dim, and one for switched live.
ie: your clock is live permanently, so it remebers the time, but you don't want it glowing away all night, so the switched live wire switches OFF the display.
The other two could be for lighting and dim lighting, but how that works is not easy.

right so i want red wire always constant 12v to keep the time
yellow on ignition to turn clock on
black ground
but ive put a 12v wire on green and blue and nothing happens no extra brightness or backlight.
im just gonna give up on it tbh.
this had wasted loads of my time just to know the time while im out driving
