Does anyone know what this is?

So, I bought a 2000 Limited a few weeks back and the clock didn’t work. I just assumed it was dead since it seems to be a common problem.

Well, today I was pushing on it to see if that would help (don’t ask why I thought it would) and it popped out. I noticed it wasn’t plugged in so I took the panel off and noticed the plug for it was in the slot circled in the picture below. I unplugged it and didn’t notice anything stop working. Back window still goes up/down and it seems that’s where it was going. After plugging it into the clock, the clock worked. So that’s solved, but I have no idea what I unplugged. Any ideas?

That plug goes to nothing. Not sure why it's there but we've all made the mistake of plugging the clock into it.

Well that’s just weird haha thanks for your response. At least now I have a working clock!

Same thing when I got my 4runner years ago. I took the console apart to clean up a messy radio install and when I was reassembling everything i magically had a working clock! The PO had plugged it into that blank spot.

Maybe I’ve missed it, but I can’t believe I haven’t seen a thread for non-working clocks mention checking to see if it’s plugged into the proper slot.

You've missed it. I know I've posted it myself a dozen times.

My background of having a degree in biology helped me understand that joke.
