Thanks for this. The fault I had was because of the transponder in the key. I now use my other and the fault hasn't occurred anymore.

Could you see any cracks in the joints? I’m looking for it but can’t even see any foul play in the joint s

@@Cripinub1 maybe one of them was dubious although I only used a 1980's/90's ring light magnifier my mate got me from his works clearout. Unleaded solder is used from the factory, this has little flex properties compared to full fat solder with a tasty bit of lead in the mix. Ive done 4 of these clocks now and the audio unit from a Ford Ranger. Its always the shitty joints

Hey I subscribed to your channel. Will it just cut off while your driving and when you try starting it just cranks?
