Time don't illuminate.

I have the TL-S witouht navigation model.

The time indicator on the dash don't illuminate when I turn the headlight on.

Does anyone know how to fix it without taking the whole dash board out? Or if not, I will let the dealer fix it.

It is just the time indicator, all the other light runs.

Thanks.

i would definitely bring it back to the dealer.... it doesn't worth the hassle at all for a new car.

My car is doing the EXACT same thing..except I haven't noticed if it happens only with the headlights on or not. But the symptom definitely is intermitten.....today I'll check to see if the problem occurs only when the headlights are on!

BTW, wifey called the dealership & they just automatically said they would order another clock...we are still waiting! In the meantime, sometimes its a guessing game as to what the clock is actually saying...at times half of the bottom portion of the first number is missing & others half of the right portion of the first number is missing...pretty weird. Take it to the dealer and let them figure it out.....too much hassle for YOU

Finally, took it to the dealer. They changed the clock bulb for 6.58 CAD. It took 30 minutes.

In the same time, I got the dealer to fix my squeaks in the seatbelt receiver and the passenger seat.

Everything is fixed! 2 hours total spent at the dealer.

They told me it is under warranty if the car is under 20 000 km.

My car has 35 500 km.
