2001 LCD clock backlight dead

[water5boy5]

I had to remove the clock and the rest of the center console so that i could get the serial number for my stereo because i lost the password. But when i put everything back together, the backlight in the clock didnt work. I figure i blew the light somehow. Does anyone kno how to replace it. I'd rather do this than buy a new clock. Thanks alot

This is an easy one since I just did this myself. When you slide the clock assembly out of the dash and unhook the connecter for the clock and the four way flasher switch look at the back of the assembly. On the upper left side is a round plastic, slotted piece (looks like an adjuster, almost). This is the plastic base that holds the bulb. Give it a half turn to the left (counter clockwise) and gently pull back and it will slide right out. Your Honda dealer sells replacements for about three bucks a pop. Just slide the new one in and turn it half a turn to the right and pop on your connectors for the clock and the four ways. Slide the clock assembly back in the dash and you should be good to go. Good luck!!!

Thanks, worked like a charm. Though my dealership charged $7, but well worth fixing that damn thing
