Clock wont light up????

[gsbarrett]

I bought an 03 coupe and the clock does not light up. replaced the bulbs and it still fails to light up. What could be causing this? blown fuse? wiring problems? let me know what you think.

I would be willing to bet you that either your clock is not getting the signal or the bulbs fell out. Having these pesky little bulbs inside their designated hole and getting them securely in and getting them to stay there is a PITA.

You can see what the issue is if you remove the clock trim piece, and the two screws securing the clock in place and look at the situation. If the illumination fuse were open then you wouldn't have any illumination.

the bulb might be seated backwards. I know some bulbs are like that. I dont know what the clock bulb looks like but it might be ones of those

These bulbs cannot really be installed backwards, incorrectly yes, backwards no.

I'll see if I can get a good pic tomorrow at work (I have a dead G clock sitting on top of my radio).
