What to do with the clock

My 85 Carrera clock is trying to die.

It will work on occasion if I am driving but quits when I park for very long.

I can send it in for a refurbish but I was wondering what else might be added or even replaced.




This is a clock from the Singer. I see it has a little red light and an arrow pointing at the rear of the car. Is that by chance a fan belt warning light?

The factory alternator light is pretty small and dim.
How could I wire up a very bright HEY DUMMY THE BELT IS BROKEN warning light?

I know I can get North Hollywood to put in a very bright light. How can I wire it up and not cause a problem with the alternator? I know the alternator has to have the factory bulb for it to charge.

Should I have it just come on if the voltage drops below 12 volts? Where would I even look to figure out that circuit?

I think a blinking very bright light over there would be a good idea to let me know the fan belt just broke.
