Hey. I got a 1999 Honda Civic DX. For some reason, I am not able to see the time nor anything on the radio display at night. So I was wondering if that is the way how it should be or if it is messed up... Thanx in advance for the helpersThe buttons on the radio DOES light up...but NOT the screen that shows the time as well as any other CD/Radio info...

yes the factory radio does has a light that turn on when the running or headlight are on.

have '99 Civic EX & it should light up

Look in the owner's manual. It might have its own bulb that is burnt out and need replacement.

there is a tiny bulb that lights up the display and it is out.

Yes it does have a light that suppose to light up

well,the radio display should be lit at all times when it has power-also the clock light.you may have a problem with the resistor that controls the voltage to the accessory lighting-see if your guage lights dim when you turn the dimmer-otherwise may have a fault in the ground circuit of the radio.the clock light is on the same circuit as the display.if possible look in a manual and follow power and ground distribution pages also fuse to component index-you will find they share a circuit-good luck

check your fuses they are under the dash on the driver side the one for you radio could be blown.
