2000 Runner Digital Clock

[TheUser]

I bought a 2000 V6 4Runner, one of the details is that the clock doesnt work, I checked all the fuses and they are all working. Does anyone have and idea of what could happen? Sorry about my english... I hope you understand..

Thanks

I had the exact same thing happen on my 1997 4Runner. You just need to buy a replacement clock off of ebay. Mine just went dead after 10 years.

My digital clock on my 1999 4 Runner goes out on me. In my case, if I give the dash a smart wrap right next to the clock, the clock usually will light up and stay lit for some time, then it will go out again at some point.
This indicates to me a loose connection, quite possibly with its harness plug.
Bear that possibility in mind before you spring for a new digital clock.

It's very easy to unclip the trim panel around the clock and check that the connector is tight at the back. But like others have said, both on here and on Yotatech, it does seem to be a common problem after 10 - 12 years or so.
