AU II clock light

[ex cab]

i have an AU II and the clock light bulb has blown.

the bulb base (plastic) is slightly larger than the lights in the air-con dial unit (which i have replaced)

i have spoken to ford and they say they don't stock them.

any ideas where i could find it.

I thought it would be a ford genuine part .... ???

There's a guy who fixes the climate control dislpays calls his business "Liquidxtal" Ph number is 0412 299 034 he keeps a lot of this stuff in stock I am sure he'd have some, he's based in Melbourne but he will post them.

i have spoken to 2 ford dealers and neither have a reference number for the bulb, only for the clock itself ($70). NO HELP AT ALL !!

the bulb is approx. $4 and am not keep on paying for shipping from Melboune if the guy you referred to does have it in stock.

oh well.... ***** it !!

I'm pretty sure that when i replaced mine, it was with one from the dash-cluster, which i think they have a part number for.

i had this same problem, i ended up taking the clock out and taking the globe into a mate that works at ford and we went through the globes till we found one.
i kept the original packet cauz i new some one would want it one day.
get ford to try part number AU 10G881 A its description is just a globe.
see how that goes.
cheers

its the same as for the odometer, guaranteed.

my clock bulb has blown, and my mate is an auto elec and he got me one, now i just spend the time and pull centre of dash apart to fix it.

i tried part number AU 10G881 A. ($14.40...what a joke)

the bulb was too long and the diameter if the plastic base was slightly bigger nd woldn't go in all the way.

Also, the auto electrician says that it is not the odometer.

So i left the bulb with the lecy and he will try again.

So much trouble for such a little thing.

bloody hell, i paid no where near that. i think it was like $2 or something. very strange that the part number is different. i kept the plastic bag it came in for future reference. the globe i had to get was a small stumpy one about 6mm long including the black plastic base its fixed too.

You can definately buy a bulb from Ford for a couple of bucks at most unless it has been discontinued recently. Take the old one in and say get me one of them. From my experience what part number is on the packet at Ford is not necessarily what is inside the packet, especially for little things like bulbs and clips.

it should be bright when the cars on and light off then dimm when the headlights are turned on, first this id try is to replace the globe, if you take it into repco they should be able to find the right one...

My clock globe has just recently expired...........How do you get the clock out?

[boby czar]

firstly remove the radio,then remove 2 screws,take out the ashtray.remove 2 screws.give the facia insert a decent pull and the clock is held in by 2 screws.note radio can be a ***** to get out,I used coat hanger inserted into the 4 holes and it needs a lot of jiggling from behind.good luck

Start a new thread, as opposed to bumping old ones .

I'll have to pull my clock out and re-check, but I think it's a t4 bulb. I'll double check tomorrow.
