General Digital clock

[jamx2]

I have just noticed that the Digital clock above my rear view mirror has completely stopped working, there is no display at all just black screen? Could this be a blown fuse or something more than that


Thanks

Hi
If its the mk1 then its could just be the bulb.

It is an 'R' reg not sure if that is mark one or not. If it is the bulb how do I remove the clock and replace the bulb without damaging the interior?



Thanks

I have recently changed the bulb in my P reg.
Fairly simple first take the glass bit off the lights then the plastic panel around the light switches (small flat screwdriver should do it),you now have access to 4 (i think) screws just remove them and the whole overhead console is released giving access to the clock.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for that, I will try it and hope I dont break anything in the process

You can also check out a previous threads as well. It was mentioned not long ago

The torx screws as said above can be removed by the right size straighthead screwdriver but I now keep a torx driver T20 in the tool kit as also fits Idle control value as well

Thanks,

Which fuse would be for the clock and what else would run off the fuse, I do not want to start pulling things apart if it was simply a blown fuse


Thanks

 

[donaldmaclennan]

look carefully and you will see if any of the fuses are blown

Thanks I will take a look first and hope it is simply a fuse that would be a good result

Ian described the process on this perfectly, I have now changed the bulb and clock working again


Excellent as Fiat told me on the phone it was a sealed unit
