MG TD TF 1500 - TF clock power

Can't quite find the best way to power the TF clock in the archives. It's not on the schematic. I suspect I should use a brown wire (power all the time), but what should I connect it to? (I don't have an old factory wiring harness to refer to).

thanks,

Its needs to come from the live side (unswitched) of the ignition switch.

may be a bit late now-but the clock has 2 feeds for MGF -3 connector analogue clock.
mgtf MK2 has newer digital clock ?

C0210=DIMMER FEED -RED/BROWN
C0232-GROUND BLACK

F12 fuse under the steering wheel is blown, thanks to a lovely German web site.
That's why radio power is gone as well.
So no clock and radio = fuse.

MGF? Digital?
Are you sure you found a T Type site there?

I would also install an inline fuse of 5 amps or less to protect the clock should a power surge happen in the system. I have a 2.5 amp fuse and it's holding. If the car sets for an extended period of time, I would disconnect the battery also. PJ

Don't forget, every time you reconnect the battery you need to restart the clock.
