'00 Accord SE Clock
Just bought a 2000 Accord SE today, on the drive home I noticed that the
digital clock isn't illuminated. Do I have a burned out bulb or does it not illuminate? Thanks in advance Brian Drake Charlotte, NC - USA |

> Pull the whole clock and change the little bulb (circular). cost: $4.50. > > alain Alain, Are you sure about this? I own a 2000 Accord LX 4-Dr, bought it new and the clock was *never* illuminated right from day one. It bugs the h*ll out of me that they would design a car like this and I always switch on the map light at night to see the time. Most accessory clocks I saw in stores that said "back-light" also required a button press for light so I never saw the point of getting one of those. Recently I same across a post in some forum saying that a lot of Accords have a defective clock bulb, so I called a friend who owns a 2000 Accord LX (same as mine) and he said his never illuminated either. And he always thought it is supposed to be like that (just like me). And when I tried to investigate it DIY style, I could not pry the clock out with a flat head screw driver. There is no "clip" under the hazard light button as written in the manuals. I have looked with a flashlight. If I try to slide a business card under the clock, it goes in maybe 1/4 inch and then hits the solid plastic after that. Believe me I have spent alot of time and energy on it this weekend but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the d*mn clock out so I could see if there is a bulb. I have looked at several set of directions (for stereo removal -- they begin by removing the clock) and all of them say just in one sentence to remove the clock by prying it from bottom with a flathead screw driver. One post in this NG mentioned a clip under the hazard light button and another on the other side. But there ARE no clips whatsoever in my car. It looks like, and I know it sounds crazy, that it is fixed. My only option seems to be to pay a Honda technician $40 to fix that bulb. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. BC |

Drive into the Dealer Service door, and ask them to get it off for you.
