04-Nav: What fuses to pull to reset clock without touchscreen?

Hi there everyone, I am hoping you can all help me with a situation I am having with my 2004 TSX Navi. Does anyone know what specific fuses to pull/reseat, in order to cut power to the clock, in a 2004 TSX Navi, and thus reset its time.

Details are as follows:

I recently had some electrical work done (stereo's amp had gone bad and was draining battery when car was off). That is all fixed and car is running great, but as a result they had to disconnect the battery and now the clock is at the wrong time.

Normally I would reset it using the touchscreen, but at the same time, my navigation system has gone bad it seems, even with an unscratched, perfect condition 2004 nav disk, the system can't load the software into the nav computer, it tries and then says "check disk" every time I start the car. Doesn't get far enough to ask us to enter in the nav code (which I do have). I have a feeling the nav unit went bad some time ago, but it never had to try to reload the software until we disconnected the battery due to the amp issues.

I read the forum threads about taking the nav unit out of trunk and trying to clean the laser, and will do so. However, in the meantime I wanted to know if there is a certain fuse I can pull/reset, to cut power to the clock, so if I did so right at 12am or 12pm, the clock would then be at the right time. Right now it's 45 minutes slow and is driving us crazy.

If I could get that fixed, I could honestly live without the nav screen until we sell the car in a couple more years. The nav itself has not worked since we moved to Hawaii a year ago (does not work in Alaska and Hawaii until 06 model and newer disk doesn't change that) and I seem to be able to operate the AC at any strength I want using the hardware temp up/down hardware buttons. So, t's really only the clock I need to get working right and after that I can take or leave the screen, if cleaning the laser does not work.

I should mention I already tried reseating fuse #32 in the interior fuse box (since that seemed like the right one when I read the manual), and although it cut power to the clock display, it did not actually reset the clock when I put the fuse back and started the car. I also know I could disconnect the battery but I would rather reseat a fuse, less scary for me as I am mechanically inept

Lastly but not as important, for now I had the (independent with a great rep) mechanic simply disconnect the stereo amp that had gone bad and was draining the battery. He can order a used replacement amp (price around $150, the new ones are apparently $800) but then it's another $200 bucks of labor to put it in (labor rates are very high here even for the indy mechanics that are less than the dealership).

I saw the same replacement amp online for $100, how complicated is it to remove the necessary parts of the dash and put the replacement one in? My wife wants her FM radio back

If I seem like I am trying to get away with not putting much money in the car, its probably because a few months ago we had the well known Air Conditioner compressor implosion and it cost thousands to fix, which we were willing to do at the time since we really want to keep this car for a while. I made tons of calls to Acura customer relations to try and get them to help with he cost (since it seemed to be a known issue) but in the end the first person and the supervisor told me no dice, I was on my own

Thanks in advance for any guidance you fine folks can give me!
