93 XJ clock pinout?
 

I'm attempting to wire an OEM clock into my '93 Cherokee Country. There
is no connector that I can see (Maybe they took it out because the radio
was standard) so I was thinking of splicing into the radio harness.

The clock has an 8-pin male connector labeled with letters, and the
following wires:

"A" Black (ground, obviously)
"B" Orange, Black Stripe
"C" Pink
"D" N/C
"E" N/C
"F" Purple
"G" Blue
"H" N/C

I'm guessing there are hot, keyed, and illumination wires in addition to
ground, but what about the fifth.

Is the clock designed to snap apart so I can see where the wires go.
Would putting 12 volts on the non-black wires to see what happens be a
bad idea?

I wonder if a factory service manual would have a wiring diagram that would
include this kind of info?

Would it be possible to fire-up the vehicle and then do voltmeter checks
between the various wires and ground?

That's kind of what I was hoping. I'm undecided whether I should invest in
one myself, because although I like to be knowlegable about how things work
and are put together I don't plan to do any mechanical work on it.

Actually I know what the wires on the jeep do since I'm replacing the
(broken) factory receiver and have the diagram that's printed on top of the
old radio. I just need to know which wire does what on the clock. The clock
actually came from an older vehicle (an '88 I think), but fits my opening.

If it means anything, on the wires leading the the radio, pink is constant,
purple/white is keyed, and orange/black is illumination
