Default 99 Accord lx having problems with digital clock

when you installed your aftermarket head unit in a 6th gen accord, did you have problems with the clock not lit up when at night and lights on. i mean, i have to tap that clock for it to lit. let me know if you had this problem and give some good feedback.

the blub burn out, but you need to replace the whole clock, it cost 12 bucks at honda. The blub is built inside according to the guy work in honda, cant be taken apart.

The guy you talked to is a dumbass. They have a replacable bulb. Honda even has a service bulletin on it.

yup, there is a bulb

check that the wires are plugged up tight. The clock has to be removed to get to the radio.

Just take it out, whack it against your leg a couple of times, take a look for the bulb and make sure it's tight, then put it back in. If that doesn't work, remember that you can pick up a new clock for under $20 from Honda.

I assume you know how to remove the clock, right? Put some masking tape just under the clock on your dash, wrap the head of a flathead screwdriver a couple of times with masking tape, and gently pry up from the bottom of the clock assembly. The masking tape is to make sure you don't scratch your dash.
