GQ clock

Post by Paps »

I know this is probably pretty trivial, but does anyone know what the problem is with the clock in GQ's and how do you fix it? I don't know anyones that works.

Just had the odometer/trip meter fixed.

my odometer cost about $200 from memory.

The clock I actually fixed by WD40. DOtn know why that worked as such, but its been on now for about 8mths, so I aint touching again till it stops.

this seems to be a pretty common problem with the GQ's, both mine and a mates clocks dont work. When a mate was looking for a GQ/Mav to buy all of them except one the clocks didnt work. It wil be on the to do list.

Have just fixed 2 GQ clocks.......

There is a large resistor on the back of the board (I think its the largest) and one or both of these solder joints will be the problem. To test, pull the clock apart (will have to pry open some small clips with a small screwdriver once you remove the fascia panel), plug back in and push or wobble this large resistor slightly with your finger. The clock should come good. In both my cases, I could see a slight crack in the solder joint. Just heat this joint with a soldering iron and no more problems.

The job takes no more than about 20 mins.

talkin to a bloke at club property about them, he got his GQ new, and it died within 3 mths the first time, then 8 mths, then he gave up, bought a $5 watch from the markets, double sided tape, and its still going.
