I bought a digital clock from flea bay thinking it was just a plug in job but have now discovered that the analogue clock has fewer wires and a different plug!
Is there any way I could get it to work? Obviously I would have to get the right plug but how would I wire it?

the green plug goes into the clock.
the yellow goes to the rear of the instrument cluster
the black goes to the gong
and the white is for another wire which goes to the outside temp sensor.

it wasn't the 13.55 one was it ?
