Wires are correct. But green/white wire (ignition on) has only 0,4 Volts...

Works now!
The green/white wire had a wire break somewhere.
Funny, since it is a new main harness.
Removed the center console and used the wire for the shifter panel illumination. Mine is a manual, so it was not in use.

That is good news. Great to hear, that you found and fixed the defect.
The table in the instructions shows the function and the matching
color-coding of the 4 wires.
The coin cell is just for backing up the on board real time clock.
Nothing else is powered by this battery (no display, no controller).
After connecting the continuous power to 12V the controller starts
to run and also the RTC runs from this power source. The battery
is not in use during this time. The display lights up only, if the
"ignition on" cable is fed with 12V power. 12V power on the "dimming"
wire, when the lights are switched on, triggers the dimming of the
display.
Basically every function is corresponding to the OEM-clock.
Calculating the nA current that are drawn by the RTC the battery
should backup for over 5 years... we will see ;-)

So, to finish this dashboard clock project completely, I have done
the design of the clock housing as well.
This means, that there is now a complete "copy" of the dashboard clock
existing.
Here we go with some pictures of the parts, comparison of OEM and new housing
and how the installed clock looks like in my DeLorean.

Greetings,
Do you have any clock units still available?

Yes, Chris, there is one available for you.
But if more requests are coming up, we have to go for the next batch
Now the clock-housings are done.
See below how they look like.
