It's just the bulb behind it. We see them go out quite often at work. To be honest, most poeple get them replaced under warranty...but then my Acura dealership warranties just about everything. Don't get me started on that.

Anywho, if you are going to do it yourself, it's just a cheap bulb (few bucks), and you can either A) remove the plastic trim completely, which gives better access to the clock's bulb, or B), just pull out that side of the trim a little, take a short flathead, and twist the bulb to "unlock" it. Remove old bulb, install new bulb, and voila, clock will work again.

Within the last few weeks, I've had bulb after bulb stop working. Banging on the trim fixed all of them except the clock. That one might actually be out.

What bugs me about our clocks is how they stay on even after we take the key out of the ignition. I cant really recall another car doing that but im assuming thats because most cars the clocks are on the radios and they cut off when the radio cuts off.
