Hyundai Repair: Burned out bulbs..., new clock, gauge cluster


Question
My 2004 Accent 4cyl has bulbs burned out behind dash instrument panel and LCD clock is also burned out, how can I replace myself, I can't afford $192.00 for a clock in my car...Thanks

Answer
Hi, Trisha.  I'll need to know the locations of the bulbs that are burned out.  Are bulbs in your gauge cluster out? All of them?  Just one?  More than one?  Similarly, are the bulbs in the components in the center of the dash out?  All of them?  Just one?  More than one?  

The illumination in the clock is part of the electronics inside the clock.  If your clock won't illuminate, you'll need a new clock.

I'm also concerned, depending on which bulbs are out, that you may have a problem with your rheostat (dimmer switch).
