Replace Clock Bulb
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hello-
My 'new to me' 2004 VDP had a non-functioning clock bulb. In about an hour and with a replacement bulb, I was able to remedy this issue.
I disconnected the battery for safety purposes.
Pics 1-3 show removal of rear heat/air vents. Pull the assembly out and disconnect the 4 connectors. Remove 2 T27 torx bolts.
Pics 4-5 shows the removal of wooden shift knob and wood/chrome shift surround. Remove 2 T27 torx bolts. Lift center console from rear and detach from radio/nav area.
Pic 6 - Lower the steering column to allow for additional workspace.
Pic 7-8 - Remove wood trim. Start at left of airbag area and work around the dash.
Pics 9-10 show the removal of 6 or 7 screws
Pic 11 shows the removal of the cluster surround.
Pic 12 shows 2 screws under airbag cover which need to be loosened to allow the vent and clock assembly to slide out from under 'ladder bracket' beneath the airbag fascia.
Pic 13 shows removal of removal of vent and clock assembly
Pics 14-16 shows the separation of clock from its mount. Two clips on bottom, one on top. Disconnect electrical connector.
Pic 17 shows old bulb (green) and replacement bulb from Carquest.
Pics 18-20 shows rear of clock and new bulb installed.
Pics 21-23 show re-installation of screws.
Pic 24 shows closeup of clips which should be on the backside of the wood dash cover, not stuck in the dash. Place these on the backside of the wood fascia on the proper 'tang'.
Pic 25-27 shows re-installation of center console, seat heaters, and a/c connectors
Pic 28 shows the reconnection of the battery.
Pic 29 shows lighted clock---success!
