Thanks a lot Tracy. I can't believe I never thought to disconnect the battery
first. If I fried my clock I'm gonna be peeved. That ticking sound is great at
night. It knocks me out. I don't know why.

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

Subject: [tcb] I shorted something. Any thoughts? 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?
