Zur C1 habe ich die Antwort schon gefunden.
First of all, fuse the clock. The clock has no fuse protection whatsoever with the factory wiring harness. Battery voltage fed from the amp gauge winds the clock periodically, when the internal points close. The points immediately release to the open position, then slowly move together again as the clock ticks away. The points come together, completing the electrical circuit and the process is repeated. Here's the problem: As the clock mechanism ages, the points begin to stick when the clock "winds down" . If the points stick together without releasing, the coil within the clock overheats from the amperage load, which causes wiring to overheat, melting insulation and starting fires. The red arrow in the photo is pointing to a simple fuse holder wired into the battery ( red ) wire of the clock of a '60 Corvette. Place a 10 amp fuse in this holder to protect the circuit.
Der Tip ist auch nicht schlecht.
