What fuse is it that fixes the clock?
Although the radio(not stock) works. I was so used to my Tacoma's clock because I always run late for work.

it's rarely the fuse
it's likely the clock itself-just replace it or have it fixed if so.

Dude posted up here a few weeks back he does repair these somewhat reasonable priced. Just scan back a few pages for clock threads...

More often than not.....the clocks just die on there own, but worth checking the fuses first.

I offer a repair service for the 4Runner clock (as well as several other models).
Check out Auto Clock Repair - Home
I have instructions on how to remove clocks, etc there as well.
Drop me a note if you have any questions, thanks!

Solved: 3rd generation Toyota 4Runner digital clock repair DIY (aka tooth surgery)

The Toyota 4Runner digital clock is tied to the dome-light fuse.

The factory shop manual diagnostic basically says:
- Check the dome lamp fuse ... if that's good ...
- Remove the center cluster and check the voltage at the clock harness connector ...
- If that's good ... buy a new $300 clock.

What I did was re-wire the Toyota digital clock circuit board!

Since I'm new to this forum, I felt I'd give back and write my first DIY on that topic (with 50 annotated pictures!).

Here is my Toyota 4Runner digital clock repair DIY:
- Solved: 3rd generation Toyota 4Runner digital clock repair DIY

Please let me know what you think of it so I can improve my technique.

good tie in to the solve thread
So if it were simply the fuse acting up as originally asked- the dome light would be out also- is that safe to say?
