S14 Electrical problem(s)

[alonroz]

Hi,
i have two little problems with the car that really bug me,
car is a 96 zenki S14,
1. my cluster clock light is always on, even when the car is locked...is that normal?
2.my power windows and antenna don't close automaticlly when i lock up the car.
the fuses in the driver's footwell all seem ok (Elec Bat,etc...)
any help would be greatly aprriciated...

The clock always stays on. It lights up when they is on, but the display itself never turns off.
The antenna could just have a bent rod and won't retract. For the windows, you have to roll them up yourself, they don't do it on their own. What kind of a question is that?

i meant that the clock light always stays on, even when the car i off and locked!
i can close the antena my self from the stereo itself, but it should close automaticlly right?
and i guess it kind of is a spoiled thread...

Maybe as an option with an aftermarket alarm?

Well first explain what you have... Do you have an alarm that shuts off everything and is supposed to roll up your windows and put your antenna down? Second what do you mean the clock light stays on? Do you mean after you turn off your lights and everything, its still lit? Or are you just confused and think the clock is supposed to turn off... Being a little more clear goes a long way...

your antenna is not rolling down because you probably have something disconnected or you installed somethin wrong when you did your radio, check all your wires again.

windows? well thats gonan require aftermarket alarm

what i meant about the cluster clock what that it's backlight, not it's display, always stays on! even when lights are off and car is shut off and locked!
is it normal?:confused:
and no i don't have any aftermarket alarm fitted...so i forgot about the windows...
and ill recheck my radio for the antena wiring
thanks!

[alonroz]

does anyone know if the clock's backlight (not it's display) should stay on after the lights are off?
thanks!!!

[projectRDM]

I already answered you. No, it turns off with the key.

[alonroz]

thanks!
any known tricks for this problem or just take out the cluster and check the wiring?

[projectRDM]

Since your antenna has problems I'd suspect an improper install behind the radio. The accessory lead is shared with the clock.

if you wire the antenna wrong it will stay up, its propubly ran to constant

check your deck harness see if you hooked up the orange wire(lillumination) or make sure that its not grounded. some lillumination wires have white or black tracers(stripes). cap them off and see if you have the same problem.

Ok fixed the antenna problem - some WD40 on it, and it slid right in!
the clock's back light is still on though...
