Aaron,

Is your clock digital (electrical)? or mechanical/analog (electric motor 
driving gears and hands)?

I'm thinking the former. As in it's in the dash between the tach and speedo.

You might want to reach up under the dash and make sure the big, wide 
edge connector is firmly attached to the back of the instrument cluster. 


This is easier written than reached but I's also wonder if you are 
getting a good solid 12 volts or better into the interior of the car.  A 
cheap $10 volt-ohm meter will help.

write back with progress, hth.
