Dead radio and clock saying 8:16!!!

[kev44surrey]

Hi guys can anyone shed any light on my Radio, the unit illuminates when the lights are turned on but nothing else and the clock is permanently set to 8:16. I have checked the fuse no 19 which relates to the unit but that's fine any idea's

Is it an original Rover fitted radio ???

From what you say I think the problem is in the radio itself.--

Hi Colvert thanks for the reply, yes it is an original radio - looks like I will be replacing soon. Thanks Kevin

does sound like the radio is kaputt,

Great news Have taken the radio out from the dash to find a blown 10amp fuse, and even better news the previous owner had left the 4 digit security code happy days.
Not to sure what is happening with clock yet

Is it the analog clock, glad you managed to get back on lol

That's good news. You might be able to do something with the clock now.

Don't forget to check why the fuse blew. Could be a loose connection or a bare wire somewhere.

Or simply old age, if it is the original fuse it may well have degraded (As they do over time).

More great news have just removed the battery for a decent charge and when I connected it all back up guess what; the clock has started to work
