twitching clocks fixed

Recommended Posts

Since i have had the corrado the speedo and rev counter have always been a bit dodgy, they would randomly twitch or jump around, they would sometimes be fine for days then start twitching again and the mfa time and trip would also reset itself.

After fitting a faulty ECP voltage regulator last week which fried itself the clocks have been even worse, twitching much more and randomly dying completely.

I decided to take the clocks apart and check for any obvious signs of damage, and noticed the two 220uF electrolytic capacitors where both swollen and distorted, I picked up two new capacitors from maplin (42p) soldered them in and they have been fine ever since, it also seems to have stopped the time and trip from resetting itself.

 

I have seen a few posts on here over the years from people with twitchy clocks so it would be worth checking if this is the cause before shelling out for a new set of clocks.
