Eliminating clock dimmer?

[Houston93CB7SE]

Is it possible to keep the dash clock at full brightness, so it doesn't dim with parking/headlights on?

Never thought about it, but thinking about it, if you could fool the system and make it think the lights arent on when they are... it should work...

I'm just wondering if maybe one of the wires might be the dimmer, and that wire could be eliminated and keep it lit at normal/lights off brightness.

It's possible, you just need to figure out which wire controls it. Anyone got the schematic?

[lindiz]

Yes one of the wires is for the dimmer on the clock, maybe use a voltmeter to figure out which one it is.

Cool ideal I'll do it too...

yeah, just disconnect the DIM wire from the clock. you can find it by testing with a meter, or some variations of the clock actually have the pinout printed on it. otherwise i can look when i get home.

I may try that DIY.
Sounds like 5 mins at the most to do.

I don't know why you would want to do this honestly.

Mine gets extremely dim for some reason.
More so than other CB's I've been in.

During the day if my lights are on, the clock is nonexistant.
During the night, if I'm not in COMPLETE darkness, I can't see my clock.

Yeah, it's the red/black wire. I didn't cut the wire, I cut the prong off the clock itself, harder to do, but I didn't want to start cutting wires.

i was thinking bout this too. i always have my parks on during the day, and mines way dim, also. i want to do dis, but instead, hook a switch inline, so that when it is dark out, just flip the switch to dim it. i gotz Astgmatizm too, and i live in a ruraL no street lights.
