WH Statesman clock wires ?

So red and black are easy to figure out, but can anyone tell me what yellow and green are for? Obviously one goes to 'lights on' - but I can't think what the last wire would be?

cheers

It might be a constant power wire, to keep the time when the ignition is off.

I was assuming red would be constant power - and that it would tick over even with the ignition off ?

:bang: Solved my own problem - soo easily.

Circuit board of the clock tells the story.
red B+ (battery positive)
black GND (battery earth)
green ill- (lights earth)
yellow ill+ (lights positive)

Too easy. But can I hook ill- to GND ? I don't get why they need to earth seperately?

cheers.

Here is a diagram. I am not too good at working them out but maybe you are. It is easier to read if you open the link in a new window.

how did you go with this?
im about to put a statesman clock into our vx calais.

im tempted to connect both grounds to each other. im thinking ground is ground no matter where it comes from.

Same here, advice appreciated. Also i was told easy to wire it upto the Hazard light wires, is that how you have done it?

I am very happy with mine. I installed it at the same time as putting blue LEDs in the climate control and new stereo install - so wiring it in was easy - I used battery +/- and 'lights on' straight from the stereo loom.
