How to fix Honda CR-V (1997 - 2001) cabin clock 

Just did it - GREAT MANUAL!!! I added one more trick - I desoldered built-in battery and replaced it with cr2032 socket glued outside the clock - no need to dissemble the clock to change the battery.

the way I fixed my CRV clock is via the following. This might help some ppl. 1. Take the PCB board out of the holder 2. Desolder the four earth pins of the LCD display 3. Carefully tilt and bend the LED bank upright 90 degrees so that all components are exposed underneath the display. 4. Reflow the solder and touch up ALL discrete components. There are about 15 or so. Careful with overheating and the amount of solder used. Less is more. If you have a headband, eye magnifier, use it. Those diodes and resistors are tiny. You might also want to reflow the solder across the LED bank on the otherside of the board. 5. If you're bench testing remember to attach both the 1st and 2nd pin with your positive lead. The last pin is GND. 6. Put it back together and enjoy. Thanks to the poster that gave me this idea when I watched his video. If you want to go down the path the blogger did and replace the clock and have a hard time finding it on ebay, do a search on AlliExpress. Search " Digital Clock car 0.28 " . $9US last time i checked.

Thank you man this video is gold, you solved me an ancient problem, the resolder solution works for just 1 week maybe less.

Thank you very much ! Works perfectly, after trying to redo all solders, the only way was to change the screen. Good luminosity, cool red color, that's perfect. I paid it 5.46€ delivery include in France, on Ebay !

Hi. I did the way you did with your car clock in my honda accord 2001. It worked with a few more modification. Finally, I have a working clock in the car. Thank you for the video which helped.

I am going to see if I can make this one work because I want a 12 hour clock... Good video, Thank you friend!

Thank you!I just repaired my clock in less than 15 minutes.

The soldering of the larger surface mount parts fixed mine, thanks for posting!

Thank you for this idea. My Daihatsu Mira L7 has more or less the same type of clock installed, so I just went to Aliexpress and bought a suitable clock with temperature-sensor function. I hope it'll turn out as nice as yours :)

Спасибо за полный видеоотчет! Заказал только что на Али, буду переделывать по вашей инструкции.

Very smart idea 💡, that worked out perfect I will try this wish me luck & thank you for your helpful video

Thank you!!! That was easy since you showed me how.

I am from indonesia and i did it, my clock fix thank you very much

Thank you! Worked after resoldering as you explained.

Я английский не знаю, но на 100 процентов уверен что ты русский! Акцент!!!

mine wouldn't work when I got my crv, so my way of fixing it was hitting it from the top and then poking it. it worked.

Thanks so much. I did this yesterday, and it works perfect. Only thing I don't like is it's a 24 hour clock instead of 12 hour. I much prefer the 12 hour. I tried to find one, to no avail. Still, looks way better than being dead.

Well so much work for this little clock on little car , you removing digital display and putting different not exact much , you need to resolder old display , 4 legs on he other side of he board thats all !!! I fixed this clock before ,for same reason board is under constant presure and solder cracks no matter what kind of display you install .

Nice Work!!

I ordered the clock as you recommended. I am a little nervous about doing this procedure because I don't want to cut the wrong circuit tracks. Stopping the video along the way helped some. Serg, would you be able to post a simple diagram of the board that shows exactly where to cut the electrical tracks as well exactly where to solder the green and black wires ?

Works great, tanks!

Cool, But I prefer to re apply welding to the current capacitors and make it work factory again... Messing too much with the circuit tracks doesnt make me feel safe of possible short circuit or any other electrical problem caused by re wiring and modifying the original circuits in that way...

sergspace, thanks for this post. i'm assuming the dimming option doesnt work for this when you turn on your headlights at night? or does it?

Thanks a lot ;)

So to anyone that needs this fixed let me know if you still cant get it to work i will fix for you sometimes the ones under are not working and will have to add more connection or replace parts lmk for prices

To Michael Bloom No, don't. In fact, I just give an idea of how to fix it and dimensions of compatible watches. The battery of watches that I bought is contact welded, so I had to solder new battery replacement recently because old battery was depleted and watches started to show zeros every time when engine is off.

Are these clocks still working well after the repairs? I have this issue, and my mechanic has gotten 3 or 4 replacements from a junk yard that were, well...junk. Wondering if it is even worth the trouble.

I have a 97 CR-V that originally did not have a clock. I bought one on Ebay but need the harness (pigtail). For the last three years I have searched the internet but can never find one. Any suggestions are much appreciated. I can pay $$$

Does crv 1997-2001 have a clock fuse? What can it be if I install a working clock and it doesn’t turn on.

Have you a source for a 12 hour version of the clock?

можешь подсказать ---штекер у1999 года переделать от 2001г они разные

what IG and LI ?

Eh too much work for a 19 year old car... great video though
