Hi, Just removed the clock from the dash, removed the plastic cover and
now have the green 'computer' board facing me... (Initial problem-
light doesnt work on clock). Where is the clock bulb located? I see a
part that says 11, 47, 25v.. Is that the bulb? or will that control
the emergency flasher???
Please help
Thanks
KOS

My manual is for a 1999, but I assume they are the same. The clock
back light is integral to the clock. The lamp is a 0.7 watt LED, and
is powered from pin 1 on the clock. That pin is fed with a yellow
wire from the fuse/relay box. If you can find the yellow wire in the
5-pin connector, then trace that to the LED, you will have found it.

The Hazard Warning switch is connected to a 10-pin connector (only 8
used.) The clock is on a 5-pin connector. The two aren't related.
The Hazard switch is just using the clock face as a place to hold it.

Ijust replaced the lamp in 2000 SE. It was on the left end on the board
as you face the clock. If you pull the clock module out and turn it 90
DEgrees, it is the little round plastic button with a screwdriver slot.
Turn the button, out comes the lamp insert new lamp, turn button the other
way and insert clock module. that's all was there was to it. I didn't
ever have to deconnect anything. Hope this helps.

I was able to put the bulb into the clock. The light came on... I then
put the headlights on to see if the light on the clock would work,I
noticed that when I put the headlights on the light on the clock goes
dimmer....is that suppose to be like that? I thought when you would put
headlights on the light would go brighter, as one would need more light
to see the time....Again, with no headlights on, light is on clock,
with headlights light is on, but dimmer

It is normal for the dash lights to dim when you turn on the headlamps
so it won't blind you at night. Don't remember how my '99 worked, but
on my '03 you can turn the odometer reset knob and turn the dash lamps
back to normal if you have the headlamps on during the day time.

At night it's darker, remember? If the clock light were *brighter* in the
dark, it would appear TOO bright within the surrounding blackness, and so
therefore they dim the clock. Honda has done this since at least 1990.
