Clock light
Minor, but annoying problem - the light has apparently burned out on the
clock in my 2000 Accord EX. Clock still works and no other lights are out so I doubt it's a fuse. Any ball-park estimate what it might cost to replace the clock (or light)? Is it a simple ordeal or will they have to take apart the dashboard and likely cause other problems putting it all back together?

The clock will come out in your hands. Disconnect the two plugs, and replace the bulb. $2 from your dealer. Don't have them do it; they;ll probably charge you $25 plus the bulb. This is no harder than replacing the light bulb in a floor lamp.

You know, I keep seeing that advice--but I've done this several times in the course of screwing with the radio, and I've yet to see my very small flat screwdriver by itself cause any problems. If you don't have a particularly small screwdriver, or if you don't have a particularly gentle hand, the credit card or rag idea is definitely a good one.
