How do you replace 99 Honda Accord clock and instrument panel light bulbs?

Answer 1

You need to remove the clock out of the dash by taking a screwdriver or pallet knife to the base of the clock, be careful because you can scratch the plastic. Once removed you'll notice two wire harnesses plugged into the back of it, one for the hazard switch the other for the clock. Remove both plugs and the unit should come free. On the back of the clock you will see the the base of the bulb which either grey or white take a screwdriver to it and turn it in the direction shown in the plastic to unlock. The bulb should then come out. Insert new bulb and make sure it's locked in place, replace plugs and then push the clock unit back into the dash. It should click into place.

Answer 2

The problem with the clock/radio bulb may not be with the bulb itself. I just took my '03 Accord to the dealer for the same or similar problem and it was diagnosed as a short in the radio. Not only did my radio/CD lights not work, but the other lights in the center console didn't work. The dealer replaced the entire radio/CD unit, which solved the problems. Don't know if this is the same sympoms your's is having, but hopefully your warranty is still valid and your dealer will take care of you.

Answer 3

The question you ask is too involved for a proper answer. You may want to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.
