My clock light is out on my Odyssey. It appeard that I should be able to
pry the clock out of the dash, but it seems that I would damage the dash in
the process. I called the dealer for advice and they said to bring it in for
them to replace as most people do damage the dash.

Is there some kind of release or a tool I should be using?

Thanks
Haas

Unlike the same generation Accord platform upon which the Odyssey was
built, the Odyssey does not let you simply pry the clock out and change
the bulb in about 30 seconds. You have to remove the dash
surround--starting at the lower left of the steering wheel (that just
pops out), then the surround around the gauges, then the piece around
the clock.

It's not difficult, but it's frustrating that Honda did it this way.

You might also just bang on the clock and see if the light comes back
on...

Thanks for the information. I'll take a look and investigate the difficulty
or easy.

If you go to www.odyclub.com you can find lots of instructions to replace
it, some with pictures.
