Default Clock doesn't work when car off

Clock works when car running but not when ignition in accessory or off position. Also, my on board computer is no longer back lit. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

I tested the harness behind the clock and no power is going to the clock through any of the wires. This all started when I disconnected the clock to check my airbag and seatbelt warning lights. I accidently disassembled the black connector with all the wires and had to go to a wiring diagram to put it all back together. I got it together correctly and all the warning lights worked but then the above problem started.

Now clock not working when car on. It appears that the red wire which carries power to the clock is dead. Can't figure out where it originates. Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Sorry for the poor pics. The size limit is a pain. Send email to stevepaa@aol.com and I'll send larger jpegs.

The red line goes from clock dwon the page over near 57 block at M15. M15 is on sheet 2. The power comes from the fuse and splits along the way. Goes to glove box and luggage also.

Thanks for the pics. I had similar diagrams but couldn't read them as well as you. Another new twist. The clock works when the lights are on and the interior dimmer switch is set to low light for the instruments. When the dimmer is bright the clock stops. A brand new clock didn't work at all.

Thanks,
