How about getting to the clock? You know like taking off the panel and stuff.

LIke i said do a search for Indaglo Gauge DIY's. There will be instructions to getting the dash apart (very easy) then you will see the clock. Odds are you will need a new clock

you know what, last time i opened up my dash i happened to be tinkering around with the clock... once you open it up you'll likely understand how it works. i think basically the components have slided around causing the PCB to make full contact with the electric source which causes the screen to become black.

damn i just realized how bad the wording is... but yeah open it up and you should be able to fix it ok. GOOD LUCK!

Well subtledreamer said you can look at it and see if its fixable, see if every thing is making contact. But if not its not like a bulb went out and you can replace it.

Almost every thing. If i knew tonights powerball #s id be real happy

Best bet for your clock is to pull it out and look at it. Maybe check around a few salvage yards to see if they have one you could get?
