I searched but came up empty.

I know the digital clock can be set to 24 hour time because I accidentally did it years ago.

I'd like to set the clock on the euroBus to 24 hour time since it will be in Europe.

Can anyone help?

TIA

With my CDN '87, when I re-install the battery after hibernation, it's just a matter of advancing the hour set and when it passes 12 it turns to 13 and so on. Mine seems built in to be be a 24 hour clock.

i thought you held both hour and minute at the same time and it switched. 99% sure that's how my mk2 GLI did it

i was going to do the pad cut/solder routine, i prefer a 24 hour clock... but then i realized, in the Vanagon, time is unimportant. the only people worried about time want a 12 hour clock Smile

time isn't holding up, time isn't after us
same as it ever was, same as it ever was

That was what I thought as well but I just tried that several times and it is still on 12 hour time. (Although the adjuster buttons are finicky at best.)

Oh well, I do not feel like messing with the clock circuitry so I'll just live with it.

Leaving the clock AM/PM is just Hunky Dory for me.

Time may change me,
But I can't trace time.

I gotta say, that dash clock you fixed? I've no idea what time it says.
It says whatever time it began at when I hooked up the battery 2,000 miles ago.
I'll guess that when it says 12:00 ..... that is the exact time I connected the battery..... or 12 hours off from that time ...... but if you figure in the stupid "spring ahead" thing it's an hour off.

I was doing a search to see what remedies there might be for my digital clock dilemma -- two actually -- the main one is I can't set the time. I can neither advance the hours nor the minutes. (The other is the light is sometimes on and sometimes off at night independent of the rest of the dash lights which stay on.) I saw replacement screens but there is nothing wrong with my screen. Then, I came across this thread and was hoping for something helpful.

Oops. The closest thing to help I could find was this ...

It may be low tech, but disconnecting the battery, and then reconnecting at Midnight might be my only solution. (It's in 24-hour mode, but that's fine by me.)

That leads me to another question. Do the battery kill switches (or whatever they're called) that discourages theft kill all current including the current that runs the digital clock?

If the kill switch disconnects the battery…. you know the answer. If the kill switch disconnects the starter or fuel pump then the clock is not affected.

If you reset it at noon you will be 12+hours ahead of everyone else. If you create your own time zone you are never late.

Eastman Kodak actually had their own calendar up until 1980 because the wanker accountant couldn’t deal with the fact the two months a year there were three pay periods

The below link talks about this and it seems to require removing the clock, cut some wires, etc. Someone also mention installing a switch to the clock's wiring allowing you to switch back and for between 12 and 24
