I was wondering if anyone knows the pinout for our clock? I have an extra one and I wanted to make into a clock for my room. I dont know how long it will last running 24/7.....

Well lets hope you make at least 10 cents per hour so you can buy a new one when that one burns out.

No guarantees. You might have a million dollars by the time it does in fact burn out.

I'll tinker with my spare for you. I'll probably just use a 9v battery.

Technically you should use 8 1.5v batteries, or a 9v + 2 1.5v's, or a computer power supply or inverter or something to power it.

look on the circuit board of the clock and it says right there

looking at front of circuit board
1 2
x 3
x 4
5 6

1 bat (constant 12V)
2 gnd (ground)
3 light (power when parking lights are on - dim)
4 acc (switch 12V)
5 ill (ground for parking light illumination - comes from door lock timer)
6 not used

so power on 1 and 4 with ground on 2 should be all you need, you could even put a switch on 4 to make it not display all the time, but still keep time (like the car being off)

what I did was cut the wiring harness off a parts car, then just wired it up to my computer

It was hard to get a good picture off, and nearly impossiable with the flash on (numbers wouldnt show up So I had to turn the flash off.

Get rid of that Mickey Mouse camera you got for your 8th birthday and get with the times, and you wouldn't HAVE that problem...

its a 4 megapixel Olympus (my dads)

used to eat threw batteries like no tommarrow (really sucked) until I had him get some 2100mah ones, oh man what a difference.was ~$20 (with charger) but I think that in another week or two they will have paid for themselves.
