[W126 Coupe] clock problem

[Markus Meyer]

 Hi gang, I'm hoping someone can give some suggestions on what to do with a clock problem I'm having.  Last year it was acting up, so on Dick's suggestion, I sent it to the Benz store in Georgia (after unsuccessfully trying to put in new capacitors myself) and got a rebuilt one.  Worked fine until last month when it suddenly just stopped working.  Fuse #2 which says clock also works other items that are working, so I'm assuming its not as simple as that.  Right now, I have the cluster pulled out enough so that I could take the power wire off the old clock and attached just that to the new clock, and its not moving.  So, I'm assuming that power wire is bad?   1) How can I check if the wire is "live" or has power?2) How can I check the clock by itself.  I know hook it up to a 12V battery, but how - where do the red and black wires go to from the battery to the clock? Other ideas on what to check for?  Anything obvious I'm just missing?  Everything else in the cluster, including
  
the tach, work just fine. Thanks,MarkusMarkus Meyer484-919-9762 (cell)http://www.meyerprobateproperties.com/
