The clock light is out but the radio works fine. Anyone have any info o whether there is a replacement bulb or light unit and how to remove th radio (if necessary) to fix this

I am going to be taking my radio out too soon, so I looked it up on the net and in the repair manual. From what I remember pull out the cup holder and you will see 2 screws, take them out. Now you should be able to take out 2 plastic covers covering the central part of the dash. After that it is just 4 screws holding the radio in place.

thanks for info but I would like to find out if I can get the cloc light to work without pulling out the radio, number one. And numbe two, if I have to pull out the radio how do I get the clock light t work. As I said in the first post the radio and the clock are workin fine but you cannot see the clock at night with headlight switch on. have checked fuses and they are all okay

I am pretty sure you need to take the radio out and open it up to get access to the bulb. Radio Shack will probably have a part. Soldering might be required to replace it.
