Ok and I'll leave seat in and look for the 4 screws.

Ok, I'll look for the 4 screws/fasteners or maybe its shown in my shop book and make an attempt to remove. Does not sound like I need to disconnect the battery. I might try to remove the front seat. I somewhat watched an upholstery guy remove the seats when he replaced the leather. I might wait a few weeks to let the Texas hot weather cool down

I know cluster was removed prior. I will look for the screws and hope that I can just remove the clock and not the entire cluster. Big thanks

I'm sure I can follow the instructions on getting the clock up and running, but the major issue I have is the fact that I have to "remove the cluster" and that might be more than I can handle without damaging something else.

Thanks Corey, but I understand that I would need to remove the cluster, which is the main problem. If I was able to remove the cluster/clock I feel comfortable taking the next steps you and others have suggested. I'm stuck in that I do not feel I can remove the cluster without screwing something up.

I was excited to see the clock working for three weeks. Whale oil thats interesting. If I thought I could oil etc without pulling the cluster, which I imagine would be a task for a rookie - I would make sure I used the proper oil. Thanks

Ok, which I can't clean and then proper lube without the removal of the cluster. Well I had it working for three weeks time to punt. Thanks again

Thank you Howard. I do not know what lub the mechanic used, but he said the solenoid contacts where fine, but I don't know. Is this something I can do with out digging in the back to pull clock out?

I bought my 51 Pack 250 in 2019 and love it. The clock was not working. Recently I had work done on the car unrelated to the clock and the mechanic said that he could fix the clock by cleaning and oiling. When I pu the car I asked about how long I could expect the clock to work a few years? He said it might last that or a few weeks. After I made an adjustment on the speed of the clock it kept great time. Long story short it stopped after 3 weeks (I have no plans to bring my car back to this mechanic for other problems with him). I replaced the fuse and that did not work. I read through the forums, but could not find an answer, unless I missed it. I keep the car on a trickle charger and drive around the block every week or two. Is there a better fix? Do I have to go in the back under the dash, which I prefer not to do? Can the clock be pulled out from the front? I'm still trying to educate myself on this beauty. Any advice would be appreciated.

Don Thanks for the info
