I just bought a 2001 type-S CL and I have a question. Should the Clock in the dash light up? Mine does not and I can't see it at night and I hate it. What can be done about it?

Thank you,
Bill

 

Yes.. Dealer? tapping it may does it for some..

 

I had a rash of dash lights going out, including the clock. One night this summer, it just started illuminating again.

 

Bad news is...if it's out of warranty...you'll have to pull nearly the whole dash to fix that stupid light...

I saw that in the Helms manual & decided to buy a $2 glow-in-the-dark watch instead.

 

easy as shit to do...I could replace the cklock light bulb for you in under 5 minutes...pm me if you want instructions

 

My was just fixed under warranty 2 weeks ago...

 

Ant, i'd PM you, but your box is full. Fix dat shit

 

Could you post or PM the instructions to me. Could be useful for everyone.
THANKS!

 

Thank you for your help. I gave it a sold shol with my hand and it came back on. If or when it goes out again I am going to try the dealer and see what they can do.

Thanks again,
Bill

 

They go out all the time. Had one go out and replaced. Now it has gone out again. Dealer says it's a comon problem.

 

mine went out and i tapped on it (firmly) and it lit up again and never went out since (2 years ago)

 

I had the same problem and got it fixed under warranty. I didn't realize it was a common problem.

 

I just got mine fixed under warranty

 

I think in the CL-S with Navi model its pretty damn annoying that the clock is so small in the bottom right corner of the navi screen and thats all. I wish there was another space for a bigger clock and they just used the whole screen for the navi.

 

Mine went out too.... but I had it fixed when I brought the car in for my 30k mile service
