After consulting the forum and refering to the TIS i decided to replace the stop light switch. After sourcing the part, cheapest place was Ford

Fredt, thanks for your reply.

The clock still works however two lines that make up the numbers are missing and it is hard to read the time.

You mentioned resetting the connecters. Do you mean just take it all apart and then put it back together again?

 

Many thanks

Mark

The LCD connector strips are called zebra strips and are designed so that absolute alignment is relatively unimportant. If you do strip it down, the most likely cause for your missing segments are tarnished or dirty pcb contacts (under the zebra strip) - clean these gently with a pencil rubber and some alcohol type cleaner on a Qtip. When reassassembling, there must be sufficient pressure between LCD/zebra strip/pcb to ensure good contact. Dont know if this is accomplished by screws or by clips (in this case be v careful not to break any)
