Amazing. Truly Amazing. You are an absolute GOLD MINE of information!!

Yep i reckon 120 ohms too

paso 750 thanks a bunch. There are some really good photos here which will hopefully get my clock ticking once again. This has most probably inspired many others to investigate further their clock problems and possibly get theirs working once again. "You da man!"
Cheers

Please let us know how you get on - I'm in the queue for a clock fix

In the EU countries, perhaps it would be easier buying a new clock for the Fiat Panda, old type: it's the same clock.

No probs, more than happy to however won't be for a month or so before I get a chance to operate.

Perhaps an EU member could source a few Fiat Panda clocks for us in other countries? Then notify us and put on eBay?

In the meantime, sure wish my clock was fixed, too! It's perpetually at high noon...or midnight.

If someone needs it, let me know.

if you wish to save all the fiddling around, i believe the Paso clock can be replaced by fitting the printed circuit board from some Fiat models such as the Mirafiori, Tipo and Jaeger.

I have heard, that Fiat Ritmo have same clock, but outside looks only diffrent, so have to add parts together. I ahvent seen, but i have heard!

Very many FIAT group cars had the same electrics of the Ducati of the same era.
Automotive pick up (on the flywheel) thermostat, ECU, clock etc. were employed on the Ducati.

So, which lead kills the clock? Which wire to cut?
If you don`t want a running clock.

Its an orange wire (mine looks more orangey-red) that hooks into the 12 volt supply near the regulator. It's crimped to the main heavy red wire that goes from the regulator back to charge the battery. At the instrument panel end, it is the top wire (pin 1) into a 6 pin connector in the middle of the back of the instrument panel.

You could cut the wire and insert an in-line switch behind the instruments, or under the seat.

Will try that, thx f info!

In the 18 years I have owned my Paso I have replaced the clock twice so can confirm that it is the same as fitted to some Fiat Uno's, it is a larger square clock with the adjuster off to one side (not turning the clock hands directly) but the circuit board is the same and can be swapped.
They will be getting rare here in the UK due to rust killing most Uno's but should be readily available in other EU countries with drier climates !!
I found that the clock failed when the main fuse from the regulator failed (usually melted) so I eventually removed the fuse (ie wired it without and I also cut the feed to clock and fitted a 1amp fuse which I remove when the bike is stood) and the clock has not blown since.It appears that what happens is that the clock uses too much power while the bike is stood unused and when the bike is next started the fuse connections cannot cope with charging an almost flat battery back up?
Every time my clock failed was the same, the bike only just started after being stood a while then as soon as revs (and generator output)went above a certain limit the generator light would come on and the clock stopped working.When the fuse was checked it would have burnt and melted the holder and fuse,when replaced the generator light would work as normal but the clock would be burnt out.

Hope this is useful to somebody.
