Anyone hook up a euro dash clock before without the plug for it?

no but it should be very easy, just use the cigaret lighter for your car and splice the wires. The cigarete lighter has constant 12V feed to it.

It may be tough without the wiring harness.. that means you'll have to connect the wire directly to the contact.. now that may be as simple as using a female spade connector or it could be tough depending on how the clock is.
Would be easier to figure out if you had a picture of the back of the clock ;)

go to the junkyard and see if a Mystique/Contour clock has the same plug... It looks close,
if not maybe a sable?

Frost, It looks very simple, I may be able to find a suitable connector, or even construct one for you. At the very worst, I can even retrofit a different connector if need be onto there. Give me a shout when ur not busy and i'll see what I can do.

Really Paolo? that would be wicked of you to do that. Question though how much do you think it would cost to build one?.

Contrary to what everyone thinks, electronic components are relatively inexpensive, its big companies such as ford which mark up the prices so high. shouldnt cost too much.
