I just had a new stereo installed in my 99 Accord EX. I noticed that night
driving home the clock light was not on as it normally is when I turn the
headlights on. I took the car back to the shop where the stereo was
installed. They pulled out the clock and made sure the 2 plugs were
attached properly and they were. The clock keeps time and the hazard light
button next to the clock works so they are claiming it's not there problem.
Is there a light bulb of some sort in the clock? I'm gonna take the car to
my mechanic for it's 75000 mile tune-up and have them check it out. Maybe
this was just a coincidence that the light went out the same day the stereo
was installed? Maybe not????

the bulb is bad. it's a chronic problem. the bulb is lit whenever
the key is on. it has nothing to do with the hadlights or dimmer
circuit. and it is not grounded near the stereo. it's a coincidence.

I spoke to my Honda mechanic today he said the same thing. As I'm taking my
car into have it's 75000 mile oil/filer and tune-up on Monday they'll check
it out.

Well my mechanic had to replace the entire clock yesterday as replacing the
light bulb did not fix the problem.
