'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.

Re: '00 Accord SE Clock
Thanks for the post Bryan... I spoke to my sales guy today and he admitted
that he didn't know if it was supposed to illuminate ! (he's new so I'll cut him some slack).... I am going to call the service dept and see what they say, if I get anything decent from them, Ill post. thanks again bd "Bryan Canter" <bcnewsgroups@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:614be1fb.0310270819.673c15bd@posting.google.c om... > "Alain" <bald775@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:<k_Gmb.10685$7t3.493306@news20.bellglobal.com >... > > Pull the whole clock and change the little bulb (circular). cost: $4.50. > > > > alain > > Alain, > > Are you sure about this?

It works
fyi Bryan, I called the service guys and they walked me through it, the

Absolutely 100% positive. Pry the clock out from the bottom with a small straight blade screwdriver. Disconnect the two connectors. Pull the tiny light out from the back. Replace with a new one ($2 at my dealer). Reverse the procedure. Done. Yes, the clock light is supposed to be on all the time when the ignition is on. |

I know I have an oil change appointment for this Saturday and I am gonna get help from the pros but I tried to pry out the clock again today. Of course, The Clock won! <Sigh> I used the small screwdriver in an eye-glasses repair kit to pry it from the sides. The screwdriver goes in the place where the clock meets the dash but lifting it gives me the feeling that the plastic face is going to break or chip (of course there is the overriding concern of getting the dashboard scratched too) so I cannot use a lot of force. But I am getting frustrated. If Saturday does not come soon enough I am afraid I might break something. SOMEBODY PLEASE STOP ME! I have never been defeated at this game before!! :-) |

Get the biggest one you have that still has a thin enough blade to slip into the crack. Wrap your screwdriver in a piece of old t-shirt to keep it from scratching anything. |
