Backlight for Clock and steering wheel controls is dead!

Last night I noticed that my clock wasnt lit up at night and the controls on my steering wheel were also dark. The backlights on both the clock and the steering wheel controls are dead. Checked the clock fuse this morning and it didn't appear to be blown. Has anyone else ever had this problem before and how do i fix it? thanks

I think it is the light bulb in the clock itself if the clock still works. According to the local Acura dealer that is a common thing. I didn't know that the steering wheel controls ie volume and cruise functions light up?

the clock light may be just a bulb. You can replace it your self fairly easy. As for the steering wheel controls, they dont light up

there is a dimmer switch on the knee panel to the left of the steering wheel. If thats up as high as it goes, either thats as bright as its going to be or you may have a burnt out bulb?
