Checking clock in Defender

[landoman]

The clock in my defender 110(2015) is not working ....and when I push the + and_ to set it nothing happens . As my uhf radio is connected into the supply wires for the clock and it is working the clock problem does not look to be the fuse

do I need to take out the whole front radio section of the dash to check the clock or is there another way to get the clock out .....does it come out of the dash with out taking out the whole radio section

many thanks

Take the centre section out. Very easy.
2 torx screws and a bit of gentle prising with a trim removal tool and you'll have it done in under 2 minutes.
All the plugs you undo behind there will need to be disconnected, but they are all keyed, and the lay of the cable will make it obvious what goes where upon reassembly.

Let me get this straight; you have a sundial that doesn't work?

Ok got the front section out as described ....and can get at the clock wiring .......but can't seem to be
able to get the plug out of the back of the clock ...tried squeezing it ...wiggling it but no go does not want to come out


any suggestions ?

Have you tried the Gas-Axe?

Failing that, IIRC it has a catch which you need to release while pulling it apart. I cant remember exactly, but I seem to remember one connector was covered in a foam tape to stop it rattling. Futile effort, I know...

Yes mine had a cable tie which I snipped ......but no go as .....it refuses to budge .......all the other plugs in that section seem easy to release .......press the middle tab and out it comes .......but the clock is a mystery will not release .......typical Landrover ......always a quirk !!
