- This video is about How to fix the clock on your 2003-2008 Toyota Corolla. What happens is that the solder goes bad on both sides of all five resistors on clock's computer board.This video describes how to easily take apart different dash panels, open up the clock housing, and reheat and/or resolder the solder points on the resistors to allow to clock to function again.
FYI: If the reheating of the solder joints do not work, you MUST apply new solder to the ends of all 5 resistors as shown in this video.
Please be careful when using a soldering iron to do this fix.
Hope you guys enjoy and let me know in the comments section below if this video helped you out.
Parts Needed:
1. Plastic Pry tool or Flat head screwdriver with taped end
2. Philips head Screwdriver
6. Weller Soldering Iron Model #: SP25NK

I've had my '05 Corolla for about 3 years now, and the clock light is just now starting to go out. I'm gonna be working on it here soon. Like the way you present your work in this video, very clear and concise.
This dude did an outstanding job showing and explaining the entire process. This is the way you make a clear and helpful TH-cam video that doesn't waste your time. Great work!
Ruckus IIV thank you so much for your kind words!
great video !
I've been without my clock for a couple years now because I didn't want to spend the $400 on a new clock that every technician I went to recommended. I was able to fix it myself for $20. And I didn't need to add solder either. Thank you for this great video!
Fixed my '01 Subaru Forester clock in 15 minutes. Just resoldered the end of one of the resistors. Thanks!!
+Richard Moser glad you were able to use this video for your forester.
Clock fixed in under 15 minutes. Thank you very much for posting this!
+dragoncat you're very welcome!
Had no idea that I could fix the clock and not buy another one. I did everything in the video and it worked!! Great job! - Kris
Just fixed the clock on my Corolla following your video!
Oscar Ortega awesome! Subscribe for more videos. I'm filming them now
Thanks, Juni. Would have never even tried if I hadn't seen video on this. Put up without a clock for couple of years. Also Wal-Mart auto section had 3M soldering iron with one skinny tip $6.77 , and plastic scraper/putty knife worked great as a pry bar. Thanks again, and stay out of trouble. :)
Hey Juni S.
You've saved me $200AUD from getting a replacement one for my 2003 Toyota Camry Sportivo ACV36R. I done this tutorial of yours to get my dash speedo/ digital clock lighting up and it did the trick.
Whilst I did reflow solder to the resistors on mine, but also reflow the solder to the voltage regulator and applied IPA on the connector pins. Works like new. :)
Awesome video, straight to the point with clear instructions. Thank you!
I am SUPER thankful for this video. It has saved me from going to the mechanic! Thanks man! If you know how to fix a leak from the windshield let me know. The rubber is loose and it's leaking inside the car.
Good explanation; very clear instructions and easy to understand.
Thanks John! I tried to make it easy for anyone to do. If you haven't already, please like and subscribe to my channel. Thanks for watching!
Genius 👍
.. wouldn’t by chance have a video showing how to get the lights working behind the heater/fan controller knobs would you?
Mine keep flickering off and on.. mostly off .
Hi Juni,it worked perfect on my car, greettings from Monterrey in México, you have a new fan,thank you
+Daniel Sanchez I'm glad it work for you as well! have a wonderful day and subscribe for future videos!
I just bought an '05 Corolla and I noticed that the clock is not working. I guess I'll try your fix. I hope this works.
Thanks for the video. Fixed my clock in under 15 minutes.
Good how to video. If I was ambitious I would have a working clock in my 2004
I was gonna deal with a dead clock but you made my day👍
Thanks so much! The clock on my 2006 corolla stop working for quite a while. It took me ~15mins to follow the instruction and it started to work again. Besides, I learned how to open that dashboard:) Just want to mention that the sodering part needs to be done indoors. I was wondering a little of what kind of sodering tool you got you can do sodering inside a car when you showed it.
Thanks, @Juni! My clock is now working again!
Great videos!
A good future video may be to replace the bulbs behind the thermostat knobs and the map lights.
Thanks Chris! Subscribe to my channel as your wish may come true. =)
It worked! Wish I did it sooner. Thanks for this awesome video!
Clear step by step demo! Would you happen to know if it would be the same removal procedure and re-soldering of the five resistors for a 95 Corolla? The number on my digital clock turns continuously.
I had the same problem in my 94. Just got a new clock go to your local junkyard and steal one lol
Slammed Cannon Good to hear it. Junkyard clock might be a better idea than the expense of a soldering kit and zero hands-on experience with soldering. Do you just keep going back removing a clock with your own tools until you find one that works?
ourlegacy well I got a clock based on appearance. The one I got from the junkyard looked brand new front and back and the one my car had the appearance of a 20 year old clock. They have some on ebay but they're asking for like 40 to 60.
So have a adjustable soldering iron from Amazon. What temperature should I set the soldering iron at to not burn they circuit board. And hoping to fix my dad's clock on his corolla. Thanks for this video by the way
Sweet. Gonna have to give this a try.
Thanks juni S., now my clock is working.
+Carlos Tejada that's awesome
hi,great video,would you make a video on how to trouble shoot srs light which is always on in the dashboard?
Im gonna do this tomorrow, Thanks
Thanks man
Just fixed my clock
you are genius
2006 Corolla. Worked. Needed solder. Except now the clock stays on all the time.
Great 👍 thanks man
For sharing what you know
Do I have to get that specific solder? Or can I use something cheaper? I’m only using it once.
wooooow!!!!! it worked at 1000 % nice video😃😃😃😃
thanks Kevin!
Ford F150s around 1999 has this same problem.. with the odometers! But it's only the display, not the actual counting heh. It takes longer than 15 minutes to fix that... sadly. It's amazingly that car companies can use such poor parts in this day and age.
Thank you. I'll try it on mine.
Excellent!
Perfect! Easy fix!!!
Thank you!!
Thanks man
I followed all the steps and my clock worked again! However, after two weeks the clock went blink. I took it out and reheat the solders, pop it back in but this time it was dead. Should I consider buying a replacement part instead?
+Anna Yang If you've reheated the solder points and now the clock is dead, it is possible that you could have destroyed the board. Instead of buying a replacement part that will cost a decent amount of money, you could check your local salvage/junk yard to see if they have any. Most likely you'll be able to find one for cheap that you can just pop out and pop right back in. If you want me to help you find one, I am more than welcome to help as well.
+Juni S.
I haven't have time to look around for a replacement at the junk yard yet. However, when I start my car, the clock would turn on, then a moment later the time will fade away. This happened a couple of times after it went dead during that second time I reheated the solder points. What do you think is wrong with my clock?
thank you
thanks
Sir I want you to educate me on how to reset my cluster Toyota corolla s 2006 none of my dia on the cluster is working
Hi June S. I have problems with my ventilation system lights (the won't turn on with the carlights as it used to be). I want to know if you could help me with that making a video or sendind instructions.
+Marcelo Velasquez that will be my next video coming out in about a month
+Juni S. Thank you so much !
بسیار عالی
Can you keep the clock on inside the car ?
i have a question, at the beginning of ur video was the radio not working as well?
+Carla Leon My radio was actually working fine, I just lowered the volume so you can hear me speak while I was driving.
Hi, can I use 30 Watts and up to 860 soldering iron?
This worked for me. Clock has been dead for 4 years, now it works. You are the man.
Phil Rhino thanks for the awesome compliment!
I didn't realize I was accidentally watching this in 360p because the clarity in this dude's explanations of his step by step made everything clear as day.
My 2004 Corolla clock had not work in ten years...now it runs great! Thanks to your video, it gave me the confidence to try to solder for the first time & I was finally able to fix the clock myself for just $4. Thank you Sensai!!
Son of a b * * * * - it worked - thanks a million.
You're welcome neil! subscribe for more videos in the future!
Thank you.
This 15 minute fix saved me over $300.
I was more willing to have a broken clock than spend the $$, and now it works perfectly.
Diz Gustipated glad to help save you money!
$300??? Were you going to replace it with a gold plated clock? Lol
@@Roller76 😂
I had never used a soldering iron in my life, I had never fixed a circuit board before. However, thanks to this video, I fixed the clock in my wife's Corolla, which had been out of commission for 2 years. You're the boss!!
Fantastic video! I thought I was going to have to replace my clock, which wasn't going to be cheap, but I followed the instructions here and was able to get it going again. Every step is described clearly - nothing left out - and it worked great. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
i was skeptical but just did this to my 05 xrs this morning and voila! i now know the time! thanks for the tip, pare! ;)
hannahjessie I’m glad this helped you!
Genius Juni. Video very very useful!
Thanks Jerome!
I'm a 68 year old woman,the instructions you gave were so right on, I repaired my clock on my 2003 in less than a half hour,soldering and all. You are a great teacher! Thank you very much for posting that video,if you were here, I'd kiss you on the,cheek. Jt
So now, what we're gonna do, is go to the like button, and we're gonna do next is click it. Awesome video :)
I didn't bought any stuff that u said to use i just heat up a long nail and apply it
Lol did it work
Daddy Soe how did it work out for you? I hope you didn’t destroy your electronic board
Mr weed yes it works for me
Juni S. It's perfectly fine
Daddy Soe, as an ex repair technician who was often faced with a lack of equipment and parts. I want to give you the McGyver award. I got around many insulating problems using RTV , tape, blocks of wood, hoses and even rope, when parts weren't available. I even got a very rare complement from the shop superintendent. You are the man.
Thanks for the tutorials and very clear instructions! I actually came across this video while looking for help on replacing the AC panel's right side backlight bulb. I guess I can follow your instructions for removing the panel and taking it from there on my own, but it would be great if you could shed some light on this issue too (no pun intended ;). Cheers!
thank you so much for the explanation, very clear and helpful!! good job!
Thank you!!! It worked without having to add new solder! You tutorial was extremely clear and also funny :-)
What’s life without a little humor? 😊 thank you for your kind words
This video is timeless! I used this trick back in 2016 to fix it in my first 9th Gen Corolla. Got a new-to-me 9th Gen Corolla a few years after that and had the same issue. Looked this video up again, and same fix did the trick.
I found a guy that rebuilds the clocks for $13.99 with 5 year guarantee. Saved me from buying a soldering iron that I'd never use again.
Dude,,,,,, "YES"> it worked, "EXACTLY" as you've showed. I just plugged in the unit, got it hot,,,,touched the ends of each of them,,,, and then plugged it in, turned on the key,,,,,,,and "IT WORKS"! Thanks!
This worked for me. Clock has been dead for 3 years, now it works. You are great man!!!.
Thanks man, another Corolla clock fixed! By the way, nice WRX! (I have a 2009)
Blake Connolly thanks Blake! Unfortunately my motor is broken now on my wrx so I may end up selling as is. 😢 Unless I can find a decent used motor that’s not too expensive to pop in.
Thank you, can you please make a video on how to fix the CD player, mine is stuck and it doesn't take any action keep flashing and no cd movement, but the radio is working just fine
Worked for me ! Thanks, man! Clock had been dead for 5½ years.😲
I just did this, it WORKED!!! THANKS!!!!!
I was gonna get cheap clock from dollar store and glue it. 5 min and it's fixed. Thanks.
I would recommend if you know how to solder, to add more. This issue will reoccur over time since the terminals are already using too little solder which created the original issue.
Thank you SO much! You probably saved me hundreds and hundreds of dollars. My parking pass slipped down behind the dash. With your video, I was able to take the dash apart easily and get it back. The parking pass would cost me $400.00 to replaced I'm sure Toyota would have charged me hundreds. Great work, and thank you so much.
Toyota Dealer wants $355.00 for a New clock for the 2006 Corolla!! I don't pretend to know what I'm doing but I will do THIS. Great explanation of procedures. Thank you so much!
I bought a 5 dollar clock for it so is less headaches 😬 thank you 😊
Ditto. Bought $12 clock with backlight, inside temperature and battery voltage. Corolla clock is dim in a bright day, even after I've fixed it as described.
Wow! So easy to fix! 10 mins. Thanks! Those bastards at Toyota wanted $319
My corolla clock is working but very dim. You Can barely make out the time. I was looking to replace it and found this video instead of a replacement video. With nothing to loose, I did exactly as shown in the video. Hit the solder joints with an iron. Put it back, turned it on and BAM! the clock is bright as it should be. So this trick works even if you have a clock that is too dim to see. 👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🙏🙏
God bless Juni! you'll probably never see this because the videos old and you don't look at it but I wanted to ask you if you can do a video on replacing the light bulbs of the A/C, fan control, and temperature controls I need some help on that and I can't find a video showing me how.
Hello Isaiah, thank you for the response. Actually you aren’t the only one asking for that video so I’m actually in the process of getting that filmed. Hopefully before the end of the year I’ll have that video out so subscribe and stay tuned!
I did this and it worked but what temperature was I suppose to set the soldering iron to?
Worked! Just takes some time when reheating current solder.
Give this man a Medal. Thanks bro, you came through in the clutch.
Thanks TruthBeTold!
What clutch?! It's an automatic you dummy 😆🤣😆
@@supersabrosinho Where you From???
Great Video. I can't believe I waited so long to fix my clock. Re-soldering worked first time without adding any solder.Thanks!!
You're welcome! glad to be of help!
Toyota Corolla 2007 CE with 182k miles. Runs like a dream.
Nathan Frazier corolla’s are the best! I have no doubt with good care your corolla will go to 300k + miles!
Thanks for you support. It works now my clock of my corolla 2005.
Gracias por la ayuda, ahora funciona de nuevo el reloj de mi corolla 2005.
I was able to do this on my 2006 and it actually worked! I thought I messed up too when I was re soldering everything. This is coming from someone that’s never changed my own tire or changed my own oil.
Confirmed. This worked for me in 2018. However, I did break one of the plastic clasps that hold the clock main-body to the back plate (you'll see when you do it) so, I guess plastic gets brittle with age, who knew. One thing, be careful with the iron'ing, it just took a little. Just barely get the soder liquid, then back away. That worked for me. Great video, easy fix, Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing. This is very helpful video.
Thanks so much for your excellent how to video. Very good, step-by-step with clear instructions, explanations, and relevant, sharp closeups. Best regards.
Success! Always ticked me off that clock expired before my loan payments. Thanks.
Hey man thanks for the video. I have a 2003 corolla and there are no lights on my dashboard. The only thing that illuminate are the hazzard and ac button, everything else has no light including the dials. I see that you were able to remove the fan control but left the temp dial and air dial on, do I need to remove them if I would like to install new bulbs in there?
Thanks Man!! , just fixed my clock as well , no need to add more soldering wire.
Alex Alamo glad this worked for you!
Nice its work true i have done it
Thank you
Excellent video, my 06 Corolla's clock is very dim, cant see one digit on the time. I'm going to try this. If it works grate if not oh well, lol. Either way thank you for a great video.
KC TSP how did it work out for you? Did you try my method? Thanks again for watching
@@wutdadilyo Yes it worked perfect, Thank you
This fixed my 2006 corolla clock. Thanks a lot
I hit my clock to ty and get it working the other day and punched it right through the back lol the funniest part is it worked for a second after that! But this is a lot more helpful, thanks!
Awesome! The clock works as good as new, now! I actually went ahead and added fresh solder, but without this video I would have never known about the fix. My video game console modding practice finally went to use for non-entertainment purposes! Thanks a lot, man!
Fan-freaking-tastic! My clock was on the fritz..... sometimes it worked, other times not. Followed the steps. Under 20 mins. Clock back to new. Thank you!!
Dude, you Rock 🤟🏻 That was so easy. All I need is the soldering iron & I'm set. Thanks
Julz Parrilla yeah get that soldering iron. It’s not expensive and will help with other future projects
The dealer wants $400 for the clock, no installation, JUST THE CLOCK. I bought the 2005 corolla new for my wife. Youngest daughter went to Westmont College and put 320,000 miles on it. Just gave it back. So I am going to fix the Clock . Comes on sometimes. Inside is like new. Buying new hubcaps, some door weatherstrip, Fog light covers, serpantine belt, new tires and a few other items. No dents and I am going to paint it original color again as soon as the summer heat subsides. Power sprayed engine and has a rebuilt transmission. Not a knock in the valves .. sounds like NO engine wear with 320,000 miles. Always ran AMZOIL synthetic oil in it. 34MPG. LOW registration costs and LOW insurance costs.
