Wiring diagram for NB-dash-clock

[unknown]

Hi,

I recently bought a 2nd hand NB dashboard-clock for my NA Miata. The
previous owner couldn't tell me anything about how to wire the thing and I
don't want to go the trial-and-error way possibly resulting in blowing up
the electronics.

I'm talking about this clock:
Loading Image.... On the back is a 16-pole
male connector (1-8, 9-16). By looking at the print poles 1, 3, 8, 9 and 10
are used. The plastic cover says: 1:TNS(-), 6:GND, 8:B(+), 15:TNS(+),
16:ACC.

I can imagine 3 wires are needed (unswitched 12V+, -/GND and dimmable 12V+
for backlight display).

Can someone give me any directions? Maybe someone can let me know what wires
are connected on the female (in-car) connector?

Hello,

The TNS relay is a relay that activates the parking lights, panel lights,
and radio dimmer when the lights are switched on--I don't know what the +
and - refer to, it could be either the output of the relay or the coil. So
these are probably the signals for dimming the display.

Beyond that I would assume that B+ is to be a constant 12V source that
powers the actual clock circuits, GND is easy, and ACC would be wired to the
accessory power (IG2 from the ignition switch) to power the clock's display
when the key is in the accessory or run position.

Sounds to me Cliff is right. But what is the black rectangle?
Storage area?

Thanks for replying Cliff and Leon. That helps me a bit with the problem.
One other problem remains: on the white fascia pole 6, 15 and 16 are
mentioned. Those poles aren't connected on the print. And I've already tried
a little and pole 1 seems to be a + and pole 8 a -. I can manage to get the
backlight on but no indication-numbers so far... So my question remains:
Can someone tell me what poles are connected on from the in-car connector?

Thanks!

Jeroen
