The timer module is not sold separately.
Some people report taking apart the module and cleaning gears.
Others report the gears are stripped.
Probably easiest to buy cheap plug-in timer, set power pack to override, and plug power pack into cheap timer.
These timers have a warranty with sales receipt showing date of purchase.

Try the manual override >>> un-plug power pack and try loosening manual override with WD-40

It sounds like the clock motor is unable to push the manual override
Don't continue to run power pack or the clock motor will burn up or break a plastic gear

If manual override will not work, or clock will not trip on lights, you need a new power pack
Power pack size chart and wire length

Be sure to buy same wattage power pack as you have
The 300 Watt unit is made for 15 - 20watt bulbs (15 x 20 = 300)
If you buy 600 Watt power pack and hook it up to 10 - 20 watt bulbs, it will burn out the bulbs
Manual also says to replace burned out bulbs ASAP or other bulbs will burn out.

Here's the link to the Malibu owner's manual page.

Make sure there is power to the plug. Then set the clock and install the on and off pins to control the lights. The on/off switch is for manually turning on the lights. The clock should run as soon as it's plugged in.
