ignition off. Turn the lights on. then adjust

 

cheers mate never tried that one
thanks alot chris

 

Took a while for me to work it out first time round as well

 

on mine i just push the buttons each side of the clock and it changes the time

 

same here

 

same here

 

On my old 3i it worked no matter what. But on my current car the lights have to be on

 

You have to ensure the ignition is ON otherwise it won't let you adjust anything. Have you tried that

 

ive tried adjusting mine with ignition on, do lights AND ignition need to be on?

 

wtf

turn the lights on - what a load of rubbish

Depends what clock you have there are 4 variants across the Mk3 & Mk4

 

All the clocks I've ever adjusted: S1/ S2/ non-Ford models, all you need is the ignition on, whether it be just on the key or the car running.
Nothing about the lights etc: they have nothing to do with it as far as I'm concerned (until proved otherwise ).

 

I've had experiences with all 4 different clocks and i agree you need the ignition on, and that only.

If he is adoment he has to have his lights on, hes either had his cars loom changed and they have got the ignition feed and illumination feed switched over, probably where the A pillar wiring has been cut, or the wiring plug on the clock has been soldered in wrong (the clocks illuminate with either an ignition feed or an illumination feed)

 

Im not lying lol! Im hardly gonna bullshit about a clock light
As i said on my old 3i it worked just with ignition but some reason on my current mk4 the lights have to be on. So obviously somethings been done with the wiring

 

As ive said above..........that will be the reason why

It SHOULD work off the ignition, not the lights though

 

i thought mine was fooked the other week as it wasnt adjusting then i realised u need the ignition on for it to let u change the time

 

dead simple, just turn on the ignition
