My Bentley is for the “Station Wagon/Bus” not a Westy but…
For a 79, the stop lights are on fuse #12 and the right tail light is on fuse
#2 (numbered from left to right) There are none listed for the radio or the
dash lights but that should be easy enough to trace back to the fuse box.
Personally I don’t believe in coincidences so I’m thinking
screwdriver+sparks+things stopped working are all connected…
Regardless, check your fuses 1st, any corrosion is bad eg the fuse may be good
but corrosion can sever the connection. If all your fuses are good, check for
12v and ground with a multi meter at the clock. If you’ve got both the problem
is internal to your clock L
I know this may be in bad taste/timing but one should always disconnect the
negative post on the battery before doing any electrical work. Good luck
finding and fixing your problem Kelly!!

I pulled my dash out to upgrade to led's. While doing so, the lead wire on my
dash clock was a bit tough to pop off, so I used a screwdriver to pry it. While
doing so, one end of the screwdriver sparked on the clock itself. I put it all
back together and everything works accept the clock, the radio and the right
tail/brake light. .
Once it gets a little warmer than the recent 30 degree temps I will go out
and check the fuses. (the light in the clock still works)
I am pretty sure I blew a fuse, but my question is this- is there a fuse that
runs only the clock the radio and the right tail light? That just seems odd.
I changed the bulb- no effect. The right rear signal and back-up light still
work. It's just the middle bulb, for running light and braking.
Is it an unrelated coincidence?
