This is for anyone that still has the OEM early Ford digital radio with a cassette deck, and has lost the clock-setting procedures. Setting your clock radio is as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Turn the ignition key to 'ON', then turn the radio on.
2. Pushing in the volume knob, hold it in.
3. Use the 'SEEK' buttons (the buttons immediately above the 'VOLUME' knob) to set the time. The left button controls the hour, the right button controls the minute.

There you have it -- you have just set your clock in a stock Ford radio!

Note 1: If you have fat fingers, you may need one hand to hold the volume knob while the other hand controls the 'seek' buttons.

Note 2: This procedure can be used in any early 1990s Ford vehicle if that vehicle still contains a stock radio (Aerostar, Bronco, Bronco II, Escort, Crown Victoria, Econoline van, F-series full-size pickup, Explorer).
 
Yes, simple as that...and your list can include the Tempo, Escort, and all early Mercury products that carried the same radio.

The newer radio has an actual button on it labeled "clock" for convenience. Before I noticed this button I tried to set the time in the same way as the older radios and it didn't work...obviously...then I did something out of character and actually looked at the radio...it was like my "RTFM" awakening in a flash...:)
