Clock light going out is usually the first sign of an imminent transmission failure. Replace the bulb to prevent any further damage.

I giggled when i read it... as for the light, yeah, mine went out a few months after getting the car a few years ago. I havent fixed it... tho i should. I think its $$$$ for the ones who dont want to venture on doing it themselves. Just because its a pain in the ass to get to.

Maybe one day ill get it done.

my clock light went out before. there is a simple fix to it but it doesn't always work. it did work for me though and a few others.

if you tap the clock firmly but not hard enough to break it, it may come back on.

I got my clock light to come back on by banging my fist againts the dash right above the light. Don't beat it like it stole something but be firm. Light has been on ever since.

Tap method worked for me. If you really want to replace it take the dash panel off.

hahah, my clock never lit up since i got it 2 years ago. its annoying coz i have to turn the domes on just to see what time it is. or look at my phone or iluminate my watch, both, ALL which arent very safe, especially while driving.

the colored text has different meanings:


Red = Sarcastic
Pink = Gay
Blue = Horny
Yellow = Drunk
White =
