Looking for GQ clock plug from old loom

[PeeBee]

Does anyone have an old GQ wiring loom that they are happy to cut a plug off for me? I am after the plug and small length of wire that mates with the GQ dash clock. The unit I purchased recently lasted 1 week, then intermittently comes on and off as it pleases. I have bought another one, however want to have the clock on all the time, not just when I am driving - handy when camping etc.

If you'd like to put up a clear pic of the plug, I have a complete GU loom that I've cut many plugs from and kept in a drawer. It's possible that Nissan didn't redesign all their plugs when they changed models..

Why do you need a new plug? can't you just cut the positive at the current plug and rewire a constant power supply from somewhere else?

Am I missing something?

I am unsure if the issue with the existing clock is with the clock or the wiring loom. Access to the plug to test is a PIA to be honest, need 2ft long arms with 17 joints and 1cm dia to get to it, hence I was going to remove the existing clock and rewire the replacement in its place. Here is a good pic of a clock with the plug attached, its a 4 wire plug, with earth, 12v power, acc power and a dimmer circuit. Thanks for the help John

Second photo shows the plug, they are sort of mini male connectors in the clock and the plug is a female

Have a look at this Phil. There are not many working GQ clocks around any more.

Thanks Chris, will sort out my options if I cant get a plug - yet to call patrol a part. I guess I could try soldering the cabes direct to the pins then shrink tubing some insulation over the joints - another option.

I had a look through this lot but no luck..

How did you go finding a plug?

Crapped out, tried two Patrol Wreckers and they either didnt have a loom or were not prepared to chop one unless I paid for the entire loom, which is understandable. I found the plug a bit loose earlier this week and pushed it home, but the clock is still irratic at best, comes on when it feels like it. I have a replacement but really want it on all the time.

I'm telling ya mate the plug won't be the problem. It will be dry solder joints inside the clock which would be a quick 20min fix.

You sure it's the plug, not the clock playing up. Nearly all gq clocks fade away and need to be soldered internally.

Yeah, will do the fix when I get time, but I still want the clock on all the time and doing any wiring changesin the super small area is a pain so want a plug with tails so the mods can be done on the bench and simply installed.

OK, did the solder job, took 15 minutes, then without a suitable plug, I went to jaycar and bought a packet of 4mm push on terminal, connected the acc and power wires together, ran a seperate earth, bogged up the plug cavity with silicone to ensure there is nothing coming apart, and bingo, clock on all the time, nice and bright. thanks guys, easier than I thought.

If you’re still after a plug I removed a loom from my GQ today, you’re welcome to come and snip plugs off in Ferntree Gully
