I got an 03 G Coupe and the clock never lit up.

I just figured out there's "suppose" to be a light for it.

How do I change it out, is it easy?

hopefully kurtis will chime in and help you

i sent him a PM...he will know

 

thanks.

I searched, and couldn't find anything in regards.

 

On my '06, the analog clock is illuminated with 2 or 3 LEDs. I would think those would last the lifetime of the car (barring any unexpected voltage surge). Check the harness which plugs into the clock to make sure it hasn't come loose. Do all your other parking and dash lights work?

 

Sadly on my 03 the clock never lit up. There are various options, i Mean there is enough space to fit a light behind the clock and make it light up, or you can take the clock apart and very carefully paint flourescent paint on the numbers or the lines, allowing them to shine in the dark.

 

Never lit up? What about the dealer's warranty?

 

if it never lit up...why in the world would it be covered under warranty?

 

I just got my 03. My clock lights up....

 

i dont think nissan is stupid enough to not put a clock light in there...lol

 

Hmm.. as long as I can remember I dont think the clock ever had any light behind it, and Ive taken apart that section of the dash.. i see nowhere a light would be.

 

There are two small amber LED lights that illuminate the clock. Both of mine blew when I installed my IPOD. They cost about $10 each. And I actually lost one behind the dash when it fell out after putting everything back together. My advise would be to put a little glue on them or tape across the back.


The lights are accessed from the back of the clock and look like two grey or black plastic phillipshead screws.

 

take a putty knife and loosen the plastic trim around the clock and pull towards you, it will be hard but will pop off. there are 2 screws one on each side of the clock, undo them and unclip the harness. then turn the clock over there are 2 covers that can be removed with a screwdriver and the lights will pop out. the bulbs will be expensive almost 18 bucks a piece. you might get lucky and if your tech likes you alot he might have some sitting around. just replace them and put it all back together, if you want it non-amber take the orange condom looking cover off the bulbs and it will light up clear...

 

Thanks for clearing that up, Ill give it a shot and let you know how it goes.
