Default Clock Backlight not working.

Hi,
I have a Honda Accord 2002 se 4cy 4dr

I bought a ipod interface to hook up to my oem radio and after reattaching the dashboard and the parts I noticed that the hazard switch light and clock Backlight stopped working. I thought it was the t3 bulb so I replaced it. However, that did not fix the problem. Now I'm wondering if it could be related to the fuse? If so what fuse should I check? Interior lights?

Thanks in advance!

the clock illumination is on fuse 9 of the underdash fuse panel. It is powered anytime the key is in run. The hazard light is through the headlight switch (dash illumination)

Okay, which fuse number would the hazard light be ? Also how would I tell if my fuse needs to be replaced.

Thanks!

I think the clock has a mini bulb in there to provide illumination, it might be burned out.

If the rest of the dash lights are working then the hazard switch isn't a fuse problem they share a fuse and are controlled by the instrument light dimmer.

as for checking fuses
